Markus Zusak

This weekend I had the opportunity to listen to Markus Zusak and was thoroughly delighted. I was really touched by his insights in his book, "The Book Thief" and was really looking forward to hearing what he had to say. I'm a note taker, so I came armed and ready with my note book and pen, yet hardly jotted down a thing. He was all heart, and that's how I had to listen-with my heart rather than my pen. I soaked in every minute. I love living in a community that provides opportunities like this. It is a wonderful feeling to be in a room full of hundreds of people who are plugged in.... to books.

What an amazing experience. I do envy you that there are so many experiences and things to do out there. I know, I know...I should just move. :)
