Question of the Week - Question of the Week #59: Authors Speak
Without a doubt, William Faulkner. I have heard his nobel prize acceptance speech, and there is nothing better than that southern accent. Chills.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #46: Childhood Favorites
Harriet the Spy- I named my daughter after Harriet. As a small child I loved The Munch Bunch books.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #44: Best Banned Books
Gone With the Wind is my favorite from that list, but I am also a huge fan of all Faulkner and Hemingway. As a teacher I cannot overstate the spiritual experience that is teaching Lord of the Flies or A Separate Peace.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #38: Books on Repeat
Reading Harriet the Spy is like coming home to me. I adored that book as a child, and I still love it. The fact that Sport forgives her in the end is so comforting. Maybe juvenile, but I still love it. And The Sound and The Fury. If Faulkner was still alive I would follow him around and be his groupie.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #14: Books You Hate
