(Although I must agree with your opinion when I think about Walden - snooooore.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935128485909625202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242697183483891334.post-10306929818034065902009-04-17T22:35:00.000-07:002009-04-17T22:35:00.000-07:00Wow, I can't imagine high schoolers being told to ...Wow, I can't imagine high schoolers being told to read Rebecca Chastain's classic fantasy novel, but that'd be super cool!Rebecca Chastainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636968583309088356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242697183483891334.post-76012830140998421422009-04-16T19:09:00.000-07:002009-04-16T19:09:00.000-07:00It couldn't hurt, because today's urban fantasy (o...It couldn't hurt, because today's urban fantasy (or whatever genre you like) will be tomorrow's classics!TikiBirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532659085473041387noreply@blogger.com
