I've had some dumb teachers, too...we had an exhibit about Nazi bookburnings a while ago, and we had a teacher who expected us to have clipboards for her students to write on...and when we didn't, she asked if they could just use books to write against! Uh, NO.

I too heart squirrels and am disgustingly happy with my bf. I friend you for awesomeness.
Hey, I would never denigrate someone for liking a book I didn't! I'm a librarian, and more specifically, a Readers' Advisor. I live by two codes: 1) "Never apologize for your reading tastes," and 2) "To every book a reader and to every reader a book."
I friend you back for not taking offense at my honest but personal assessment of a book you enjoyed!
