As of today, there are 100 days until Wordstock. One hundred days!
We’re very happy to let you know that things are shaping up nicely for this year’s festival. We have already confirmed an eclectic and wide-ranging roster of authors for 2010, with many more to come over the next few months. We’re also working with several other organizations — some old friends, some new — to stage a new series of literary events throughout the week of the festival. I think it’s safe to say we’re all excited about the progress and possibilities!
Stay tuned for more updates. We’re going to be sending a lot of them over the next 100 days….

I had certainly been reading books for some time up to that point and I had read a few exciting books, mostly enjoying the time spent wandering the aisles of the library , but it truly was Levar Burton that taught me that every book was an adventure, something new to learn, something exciting.
