Laura has started using Librarything to track her reading list, so that anyone interested can follow along. She’s on a tear right now, downing about two books a week the last time I checked her records. We’ve been talking about the different levels of reading — reading for pure pleasure, reading for knowledge, reading closely to learn how authors do what they do, and so on. She loves writing almost as much as reading (see below), which makes sense in that writing is really just an especially active form of reading, and boy does she read actively.

Isn’t it fun having a voracious reader? I never thought I’d accuse a child of reading too much, but I’ve been catching my 12-yr-old reading under the covers by the light of his PSP at midnight. I’ll have to send him to librarything.(The PSP has turned out to be useful for many illicit activities…you can use it to access the neighbors’ unsecured wireless networks, for example.)
