I actually think blogging is a terrific medium for personal essays; my favorite blogs are essentially personal essays with a photo or two thrown in occasionally.<br /><br />Have you read Louise Rosenblatt's Literature & Exploration? It goes right along with the reasons for reading that you write about here.<br /><br />Get out here so we can have a writing retreat!

We rarely take the time to do that anymore in the real world. We are too busy to really connect with people. I love when a good book provides that aha! and sometimes life changing moment. Those are the books I treasure.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14006965209092245855noreply@blogger.com
