Talking Points
Recognizing that it is somewhat unusual that a librarian would recommend that you actually purchase a book, but sometimes exceptions simply must be made. So, for the Walking Dead fan and/or fans of graphic novels in general, this week the Humble (eBook) Bundle is for you. For the price of your choosing, you could get the "Walking Dead" graphic novels by Robert Kirkman volumes 1 through 5!
Of course, don't forget our own collection of The Walking Dead, or graphic novels too.
Some students might get the latest gadget as a gift a little sooner than the holidays. Harvard & U-Mass showed reading on an iPod increased speed & comprehension. iPods display only a few words per line improving focus.
