#11--I try to follow the directions, but sometimes I get side-tracked by interesting things.

Graphic Novel Reporter is cool. The website is well put-together, even though it breaks the "no longer than a page" rule. Home page is looonngg. But the site is cool, like I said before. Cool. Yup.
News, resources, authors, blogs, resources for teachers and librarians. Maybe now people won't stomp on my glasses when they catch me reading comic books. It's not nerdy anymore.
But cooler than that is The Book Report Network itself. I had no idea there was a portal to centralized, genre-specific, "networked" sites.

Ok, so Alexander the Great was not an author in the traditional sense, but I was browsing through the categories on the left-hand side of the Biography Resource Center, and he was listed under "World Explorers." Hmm. Facts about A. the G.--
  • Aristotle tutored him.
  • He became an extreme alcoholic while attempting to conquer Arabia.
  • They have his "Occupation" listed as Conqueror. I want that job. Business card:

The links to websites, magazines, and news are a nice touch.
