Welcome to my commonplace blog

The goal of this blog is to preserve a few ideas and quotes from books I read. In the old days when books were not so readily available, people kept "commonplace books" where they copied choice passages they wanted to be able to remember and perhaps reuse. The idea got picked up by V.F.D. and it's common knowledge that most of that organization's volunteers have kept commonplace books, and so have Laura and I.

I'm sure there are many other Internet sites and blogs dedicated to the same idea. But this one is mine. Feel free to look around and leave comments, but not spam.

The Schwa Was Here (Neal Shusterman)

Nicely done, well written, the story of a boy who was, for all purposes, invisible (until he decided to take charge of his life). I thought the "crime noir" style of the narrative was a little overdone, but i enjoyed it nevertheless. Many kids and adults will identify themselves, sadly or guiltily, with the characters.
