A FEW POINTS OF INTEREST:
1. Read 5 non-fiction books during the months of May - September, 2008
2. Read at least one non-fiction book that is different from your other choices (i.e.: 4 memoirs and 1 self-help)
3. If interested, please sign up below with the link to your NFF Challenge post (all choices need not be posted and may change at any time)
I usually read fiction but I do like to read non fiction as well so this isn't much of a challenge for me. But I am officially accepting the challenge.
Today's podcast is for my first entry into the challenge. The Book of Time Outs by Deb Lucke. The illustrations in this book are marvelous and show the pouty faces of famous historical figures in their time outs!
Lucke, Deb.
THE BOOK OF TIME OUTS : A MOSTLY TRUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
TROUBLEMAKERS
Have you ever had a time out? I'm sure most of us have. Even famous people have time outs. Napoleon Bonaparte, for example. "He saw Italy and said, `Mine.' He pointed to Holland, Spain, Austria, Russia, and England and said, "Mine, all mine,' " which earned him two timeouts on two separate islands. Even Christopher Columbus earned a time out for fibbing to Queen Isabella when he returned from his trip to America. Babe Ruth was given a time out for treating his manager badly. What other famous people in history were given time outs for their bad behavior?
