Ok, to start, my name is Margaret. I just graduated from Ball State University in Muncie, IN with a degree in theatre. I'm currently living in Fort Wayne, IN. I am a waitress at Applebee's and the head marching instructor for the high school I graduated from. In November, I will be moving to Washington, D.C. No, I have no idea what I will be doing once I move there.
Books I have read recently and would recommend:
If Minds Had Toes
This book is about a teenage boy who travels to the World of Ideas and meets a bunch of old, dead philosophers. This book made me smile and really deals with whether or not the examined life is worth living.
Freakonomics
This book is so thought-provoking. In it, an economist takes everyday problems and trends, looks at the numbers, and analyzes it. One of the questions he answers is what teachers and sumo wrestlers have in common.
Elsewhere and its sequel, Nevernever by Will Shetterly
In these novels, Shetterly uses the setting of Terri Windling's Bordertown books and creates his own characters. These two books are about a boy named Ron who runs away from home to find his older brother. Throughout these books, Ron discovers what it means to live in Bordertown and who he is. It's very much science fiction but I enjoyed reading it.
Ok, that's it for now.
