Football players were roaming the halls this afternoon. One guy really tried to act like he’d been in a library before. He said, “So what can you tell me about this book ‘Flying’?”
It didn’t ring any bells with me. I remembered that a few weeks ago his English teacher had made all her freshman classes come in and check out a book, whether they liked it or not.
“What’s it about? Can you tell me what happens?” He of course didn’t have it with him.
“I really can’t think of which book we’re talking about,” I said, stalling for time. “What kind of book do you think it’s going to be? What made you choose it?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking you.”
“Okay, well, do you know who wrote it?”
“Uh…I haven’t gotten that far.”
