I
keep digging up old memories of my brother's grade school English
readers, the ones I read so assiduously in the years before I graduated
to grownup books. The chapter "A Lesson in Reading" from this book was
included in the reader I remember most clearly, probably a sixth grade
text book circa 1991 with a powder blue cover. That reader also included
the chapter from Sweetwater that I remembered so well. Like the Sweetwater chapter, when I read "A Lesson in Reading" I could recall it almost word for word. I must have read Randy's text book a lot
to be able to remember it so clearly after twenty-two years. There are
books I read a couple years ago that I don't remember anything about.
Anyway, this book was quite excellent. I liked it.
