I received this book for my birthday about 8 months ago, and I guess I've been a little too daunted by this almost-600 page read to pick it up and get down to business. Last week, however, Austin and I picked up the movie "The Informant" at a movie shop and I decided I'd better read the book before I watch the movie. (Maybe a lingering habit instilled by my second grade teacher.)

So two days ago I started reading and have become so interested in this book. It's a true story involving the FBI, scandal within a company, and, of course, an informant. But it reads like a masterfully crafted novel with suspense, intrigue, and the occasional surprise.

And so, I love this book. I am glad for every one of the pages in this long, long, but very interesting read. I think I want it to to last forever.

I'm ashamed. To have been a student of Elementary Education, to have been an elementary school teacher, and to just now be discovering some of the funniest children's literature there is.

I recently borrowed and read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and laughed so hard. These books are filled with the make-believe journal entries of a wimpy kid. Funny stories, hilarious pictures. Definitely a fast and entertaining read for all ages.
