Friday Five for 28 February 2003

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
I enjoy reading books of almost any genre. Right now I am reading Strange Highways by Dean Koontz.

2. What is your favorite novel?
When I was in the second grade my teacher read The Secret Garden to our class. For Christmas that year Santa gave me The Secret Garden and The Little Princess, I have read both countless times and still love them.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
The Road Not Taken Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
More Shakespear or other classics.

5. What are you currently reading?
oops, see question 1.
