It is cold and windy here today. It is even snowing a little bit, not very much, but the wind makes it look worse than it is. It is kind of neat because the snow has piled up a couple of inches or so on the outside of the library windows. It is definitely a good day to stay inside and read! Plus it is Kansas Day. So Happy Birthday, Kansas!
I just finished reading The Real Question by Adrian Fogelin. Fisher Brown is a straight A student. He has studied hard and done everything expected of him since 6th grade. His father pushes him to succeed in school, to ace the SATs and to get into a great Ivy League university and to help Fish stay motivated, he puts index cards with questions on them around his room. One day when Fish finds the card that says, “What is the Real Questions?” Fisher wonders what is the real question for his life. The pressure seems to be too much and he slowly feels himself beginning to crack. So when his father leaves town, Fish decides to take a break. The careless and carefree Lonny asks Fisher to go with him to help roof a house for a former girlfriend and Fish sees it as the escape he needs. However, Fisher finds himself stranded several hundred miles from home and he must decide where his real future lies.
