Pennywise the dancing clown you are this week’s MAN OF THE MOMENT!
Yes you are kind of creepy and you bring terror to kids. But you always rank as one of the top Stephen King most memorable book characters. Plus you look good for a million (or possibly a billion) years old. Plus you have an interesting nickname: IT.
When you traveled from an unknown part of space to earth as a shape shiftier. You made an interesting entity decision to appear as a clown with bright red bushy hair and a clown costume to trump other clown’s costumes to shame!
And if you aren’t scaring children away by your hellish fashion treads than you are definitely doing it with your wisecracks and sarcasm. Oh there is thing minor detail of you wanting to eat children that might not might you such a popular clown among them.
But as long as you do not eat the writer of this piece then we are cool!
Congrats again PENNYWISE for being this week’s MAN OF THE MOMENT!!
Rabid: A Cultural History of the World’s most Diabolical Virus- a very interesting and in depth history of rabies. I did know a lot about one of the world’s most deadly viruses but after reading this insightful book it gave me a better perspective of this virus. Everything about rabies is discussed from myths of how it originated to trial and errors to figure out treatment for it.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton- in my continuing quest to read every book on the Frequently banned & challenged list I decided to give this book another try. I haven’t read this book since 9th grade summer school. I remember that that first time I read it it was my least favorite book I had to read for a class. Although I found it much more interesting the second time around.
The Shining by Stephen King- classic reading. I have never been a reader of King’s books but I decided this was a good start!
