Every vacation I have a tradition. It's not something the ordinary person does: I go to the local library and check out several books to read. Today, I picked up the first 2 Harry Potter books, a biography of Elizabeth I and Philip of Spain, Becoming Queen Victoria, and a biography on the daughters of Queen Victoria. This may sound like a hefty reading list, but it's only for this week! With a trip to see family and 10+ hours in a car, what's a person to do besides read? In addition to this, my Dad showed me several of his books, written about the so-called greatest books of all time.
Is this what you do over Christmas vacation? If not, you should start!
Why yes, I do this over Christmas vacation and any vacation. Must be something in the Short genes. :) Hope you learned a lot from your history reading list (not Harry Potter, obviously).
