A Book-A-Week Lookshelf
1) Who are you and where are you?
My name is Will Randolph and I am in the middle of moving across country and I had to stop at my parents place to drop off a lot of stuff (these books included.)
2) What do you do for work?
In general, I work with kids. I just spent a year working with at-risk youth, I'm headed to work with special needs kids this summer and then normal kids this winter.
3) What do you do for fun?
I love to be outdoors. I ride my bikes, run, swim, play pickup frisbee and soccer and do just about anything that keeps me outside. Additionally, I always have three or four books that I've started that I need to finish.
4) Tell me something about your bookshelves.
At my last job, I ended up accumulating almost all of these books. Every week, I'd buy books for the kids, then i'd buy a book for myself. It makes for a fun mix of books. When I got where I am now to drop them off, I had to buy a whole new bookshelf, because the ones I already had were just too full.
5) Tell me something about ONE of the books on your shelf.
The Long Walk is an amazing book about a polish cavalry officer that is captured by Russia in ww2 and escapes Siberia by walking to India... I can't think of a more amazing story. It's been one of my favorite books since early high school.
