I am not an avid reader. I am not even a once in a while reader. I want to be but alas I am lazy.
I recently re-read a book I first read my senior year at Plant High School. I read many books that year under a little stairwell in the court yard during lunch. Sir Gibbie was for me the single most influential collection of words in my life outside of the Bible. I recommend it to everyone, but with a warning. You may not like it at all, but if you do you may like it very much.
