Turns out my final hurrah wasn't so much finale as an extended hiatus. Per (a new) professorial request, we shall now turn our attention to the wonderful world of Reader's Advisory--already a personal passion (some might say compulsion) so it'll be interesting to see how this all turns out. Please note: fellow bibliophiles, you are welcome here!
That said, instructions from the higher-ups are to create & utilize the Reader's Map format. Alas, 'til last week, I'd heard hide nor hare of such a contraption...A slight kink in the plan? That would be my own personal brand of proven spatial dyslexia. What does this mean? Well, it means many things (obviously), a number of which even I myself remain not privy. However, it is certainly safe to assume that the process shall be one of trial & error, continued evolution, involve a lot of tinkering, and probably more than a few "Oops!"
Oh, yeah, it will also be linear and literary.
(Kind of like Nancy Pearl's Book Lust @ http://booklust.wetpaint.com/page/Reading+Itineraries and
Maureen O'Connor's @ http://wordsworthyreadingpaths.pbwiki.com/
but nearly so professional, nor so cool!) :)
In other words, no flashy graphics and no flow-charts--just simple, straight-up prose.
At any rate, welcome to my world--a humble abode where simplicity is key, books are the bomb, and we're more than happy to let the words speak for themselves...
So, let the fun begin, shall we--and feel free to supply 2 cents if ever it strikes your fancy.
