All this mentioning of where the books are located for different reading events, and not one person mentions the bathroom?
When I was a kid my dad kept an encyclopedia in the bathroom.With not much else to do, we children would read the encyclopedia. Then dad would quiz us at the kitchen table during dinner; it was one of the ways we earned our allowance. The other way was to play poker, but that would give you the wrong impression. Dad was just teaching us our numbers and to play fair.
Even though I've been stuck inside during the storm, I still have not finished Along Came a Spider. It's a good book; I just have a short attention span during weather events.
