is what breakfast was like yesterday. Judy Blume, Sherman Alexie, Eoin Colfer, Jon Scieszka and me, up on a big stage having much too much fun in front of 1200 people.
(Breakfast today: Neal Stephenson and I talking about fountain pens to each other, not in front of an audience.)
When things get less hectic I'll tell you about the rest of yesterday and post many amusing wossnames to close some Tabs. But for right now. That's all. Running off to Entertainment Weekly photo thingummy in a minute....

I found my favorite book early. My sister forced me to read The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster, when I was six and I have read it once every other year or so since. As I get older, the book ages with me, revealing new ideas on what it means to be clever, to be a hero, to have an adventure. Milo’s journey to bring peace to the warring kingdoms of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis are woven brilliantly into a tale about making the most of one’s time. Juster’s wordplay shines, and there is no foe more fierce than the Terrible Trivium, no friend more loyal than Tock the Watchdog. It’s my favorite book because I cannot pick my favorite part.
