When I got my current job, I had the choice of a grant funded job, or this one. I took this one because the funding is secure until the department is closed down. With a grant funded job, youâll probably have more interesting work. Itâll look good on your resume and teach you a lot.
My first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School was not distributed well when it first appeared in 1978. The book was difficult for parents and teachers to find. It never sold very many copies, but I got lots of fan letters that greatly encouraged me.
Awed by the idea of a big book in a language I just started to somewhat understand, I reached for it, just missing the much more age-appropriate Treasure Island - but then why'd you think I'd ever wa. Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie was the first real book I've ever read in English.
