QUESTION: Do you have a certain type of book that you read to lift your mood? Or do you avoid reading altogether in times of crisis?
-----------------------------------------
My twin daughters started high school last fall, which means they are finally starting to read some of the authors assigned when I was in school. This year, their English teacher is focusing on Edgar Allen Poe. I am tempted to read along with them. They are already asking me questions, trying to understand the stories they are reading. It has been years since I've read Poe, so I would have to reread them to be able to help my girls. Funnily enough, the first selection in the Soho Press read-along that starts next month is "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". It seems the fates want me to read some Poe!
QUESTION: Do you do read-alongs with your children?

My moods definitely affect my reading choices, but in times of crises, I find I don't have the concentration to read. And as far as reading along with your children, DO IT! It was one of the things I enjoyed most about my son's middle and high school years.
