Diana Wynne Jones

I looked at my blog today and realized very little is about my passion for books. I read constantly, in fact I started kindergarten knowing how to read, but not how to tie my shoes. That might not be a problem today, but in the 1960's every shoe for kids needed to be tied. Velcro has improved the life of parents immensely.

One of my favorite authors is Diana Wynne Jones. Most of her output is for children and high school, but there are a few books for adults. "Deep Secrets" is the book I'm reading today. It's a romp through growing up and finding talents with a couple of digs (kindly meant) at science fiction and fantasy fans. Since I'm on my second copy, I suspect it's one I'll keep re-reading for years.
