[belladoggy]

had to find a children's book to perform a snippet from for Oral Interp class. Realized "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster is probably one of the greatest children's books ever. Currently re-reading and noticing all the wordplay that I didn't pick up on when I was younger (though I did pick up on a lot of it back then; I think this book may have shaped my taste in literature and humor entirely...possibly it also shaped my writing style. It's that good.)
