I love reading. I read more than three hours a day. I hope to encourage someone to read the books I discuss. My favorite genres are classics, plays, children's books, and short stories.

J,M. Barrie and the Lost Boys
This book is about the family that inspired Peter Pan. I didn't know how involved J.M. Barrie was with these boys. His friendship with them continued into their adult years. I always have dismissed J.M. Barrie as just the writer of Peter Pan. That would have been enough though creating one major children's classic. However, he was also an established playwright and some of the plays particularly Mary Rose sounded cool. I thought it was interesting how it only talked about the play of Peter Pan and not the book he wrote of it later on. I would have liked to learn about his creative process with the book. But overall it was a fine biography and I felt I learned some new things about J.M. Barrie along the way.
