A Curious Incident
Posted by tom | Aug 30, 2007Surreal experience the other day . . . on the way into the Elizabethtown Public Library (PA) I saw a poster of a local media personality holding up a copy of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. While checking out, I saw a huge banner for The One Book, One Community: Our Region Reads Campaign focusing on The Curious Incident behind the librarian's desk.
You may remember, a faculty friend passed along a copy of The Curious Incident to me awhile ago and I didn't get beyond commenting upon it on a post by Theresa in which she shared her thoughts on Born on a Blue Day: A Memoir by Daniel Tammet. Well, the time has come, I mean will come. I need to pull it off the shelf, if it's unpacked, and remind myself of some sections. How are these books chosen? I was tempted to express interest in the selection committee, but I am creating boundaries/prioritizing. By-the-way, I received a buy 1 sandwhich, get one free coupon at Isaac's for having read the book . . . the benefits of reading ;-) Hope I'm available for the upcoming library conversation.
