In fact, I think he actually repeated Freshman year and then failed out entirely.

Non-fiction really *can* be a slog, and when it's poorly written---ugh---even worse. <br /><br />And, no, of course I don't remember "that kid Gabe." Ironic you'd ask that in a post where I admit to my crappy memory. Heh. <br /><br />JJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-58023892943576956752011-05-02T17:59:24.520-04:002011-05-02T17:59:24.520-04:00One of my favorite books I read in high school cam...One of my favorite books I read in high school came from Locker Cleanout Day! Do you remember that kid Gabe? He had the locker next to mine Freshman year. He was throwing away <i>The Talisman</i>. I loved that book!<br /><br />I love your take on memoirs -- I don't think I've ever read one. (!!!)<br /><br />I'm ashamed to admit this, but I think the genre that I stay away from is... pretty much all non-fiction. There are 6 non-fiction books on my TBR pile and they're all there because they've been languishing while I pick up fiction books before I touch them.<br /><br />I guess I don't "avoid" non-fiction as much as, when prioritizing reading time, fiction always comes first. Since I'm not that fast of a reader, I'm more interested in the entertaining stuff than in the brain-enriching stuff. (This comment makes me sound like a moron!
