In The Mail
Heres a quick text message in Spanish
(with translation below) recently sent to
Laura Zink de Daz, Davis Facilitator in
Cajic, Colombia. Laura worked with
Santiago in 2008, when he was in high
school.
If my mind wanders during class,
think of me as part of a distance learning program.

estudiando alemn para hacer el preuniversitario...y ya pas su primer
examen de alemn en la Universidad
de Hamburgo. Qu orgullo no? Estos

happy childhood, and not so that it will help IBM in competing with Sony...
There is something ethically embarrassing about resting a national agenda on

Recommendations
from The
Lazy Reader
Book Club
By Danny Brassell and Laura Zink de Diaz
Every month at Danny Brassells website,
The Lazy Readers Book Club, youll find
a list of books he recommends for reluctant
readers or for those who just dont have time
for much reading. (He knows were not lazy,
just busy or in need of encouragement!)
Dannys recommendations are always
organized into categories: AD, for adults;
YA, for young adults; CH, for childrens
books. He always lists a page count and
some brief comments, as below. Danny
usually posts about 10 recommendations
per month, three or four per category.
Heres a sampling of Dannys most recent
recommendations in all three categories.
You can read more recommendations at
the website, www.lazyreaders.com. There
youll not only find Dannys current picks,
but the archives of past selections by month,
reading level, and page count enough
recommendations for a lifetime of reading!
You can also sign up for monthly book
alerts, while youre browsing.
If you purchase books at Amazon.com
through links at the Lazy Readers website,
Bookends (www. bookends.org) will receive
a donation. (Bookends is a nonprofit
organization devoted to increasing childrens
access to books, as well as community
service awareness.)
