What’s on my nightstand? Eggs, by Jerry Spinelli.

Jerry Spinelli and I have something in common: We are both graduates of Gettysburg College. That means we’re pals, right?

Great book. I’m a long-time Spinelli fan.

What else is on my nightstand? The Crazy Horse Electric Game, by Chris Crutcher. Sorry, but Mr. Crutcher’s site isn’t working for me at the moment, so I’m linking to a bio at teenreads.com instead of his Web site.

Would you believe this is my first Chris Crutcher book? It’s true. A gripping tale.
