I Need to Read More
I always have a hard time to find time to read. It feels weird to me if I am not doing more than one thing at once. Right now I am listening to a podcast (Dawn and Drew), reading my rss feeds on one computer, and blogging on another. That’s three things. Books require all my attention hence I never get around to them.
This weekend I read a book at work. I am working nights, and they are very slow. I finally got around to reading King Dork by Frank Portman. It’s a great book. The best one I have read this year. So what if it’s also the only book I have read so far this year. It’s a great book. The first review on the back of the book nails it:
This book is for you if you’re in a band or wish you were, if you loved or hated The Catcher in the Rye, if you’ve ever spoken Francais or Franglais, or if your high school has or had a dumb mascot. Basically, if you are a human being with even a vague grasp of the English language, King Dork will rock your world.
-John Green, author of Looking for Alaska
If the name Frank Portman doesn’t ring a bell, Dr. Frank should….or maybe not, but it should. Dr. Frank is the lead singer of The Mr. T Experience. They are a great band that I have loved for many years.
Dr. Frank also has a blog. I have been reading his blog for years too. Now I just have to get a picture taken so I can be in the Dork Gallery.
