Boy, did I get my money's worth!<br />I'll comment on just one item because the NYT article is one that I also read and quietly applauded.<br />I hadn't heard the term "sitter" applied to introverted children, but it fits, given the description of those kids as "careful and astute" and inclined to learning by observing rather than acting. <br />It's intriguing to think of shy children as more easily socialized and more conscientious, which in turn leads to a more developed sense of empathy. Likewise, it's appealing to see that sitters "bring to leadership ... a willingness to listen to and implement other people’s ideas." <br />As I look at the Bachmanns and Gingriches of the world, I can't help but think they -- and we -- would be better off if they'd spent more time as children "sitting" and less as extroverts.george redehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322936024014910418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701899709555814591.post-91282298098196446172011-07-09T00:37:05.335-04:002011-07-09T00:37:05.335-04:00Hmmm!!

On subject of literary vs. commercial/mainstream, I read somewhere that commerical novels are plot-driven. <br /><br />To me, they are the equivalent of action movies. They are like the Transformers movies, just there to entertain. Literary novels, which are my thing too, are character and/or theme driven. They are like a really thoughtful indie movie that changes you a little when you walk out of the theatre. <br /> <br />You definitely picked the right genre.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652479946102909276noreply@blogger.com
