I'm all for reading to your kids. I'm all for reading to each other, period. In fact, I might add that to my "The next time I have a significant other, he has to like to do this" list. Books I have (or am in the process of attempting to find again): The Changeover Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh The Egypt Game The Witches of Worm (by the same author as TEG, above) L'Engle's books And another book question: Do you have "comfort" books? Sometimes, if I'm having trouble sleeping because I'm nervous or stressed or frightened, or if I'm not feeling well, or am going through one of my melancholies, I have books that I can go and grab off the bookshelf and sit down and read and they make me feel a little better. Mine are all easy reads - in fact, the L'Engle books and Nimh are probably some of my comfort books. Stacy
