In case I wasn't previously convinced, yesterday confirmed that I am an English geek.
I took my kids to visit a relative with lots of kids and a pool. While they swam and then chased each other around the house, I had the chance to explore her bookshelves! Did I mention that she is a high school English teacher, too?
Oh, she has walls of my favorites - and so many I haven't read! We talked about my first summer book - Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe - and one of her favorites - Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko - which I have never read (or even heard of). And before I left, she gave me two huge (no, GIANT) anthologies of which she had double copies. They might require a suitcase of their own, but they will definitely be returning with me to Morocco. My husband doesn't need his luggage allowance, anyway.
