Yeah, I decided to regress to a fourth grade reading level last night and read one of my favorite childhood authors. Judy Blume. Ah, how I loved her. I could relate so well to all of her characters because we were so close in age and had such similar problems...usually. I think my favorite book by her was Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing but last night I read Just as long as We're Together. It was good (and it only took me 1.5 hours to finish...how I miss easy reading levels).
It's funny because when I read that book as a kid, I related to how 7th grade girls are interested in boys and trying to figure out how to be cool in school. Who would have thought that I'd related to it at this time in my life!?!? It's funny how moving home forces me to finally deal with my parent's divorce and then I read a book where her parents separate. I completely felt for the character in not wanting to interact with either parent.
It's interesting how good books really can span lifetimes...I guess I'll read it again when I'm 50 and see what I think then (if the pages haven't fallen apart yet).
