Sad to go...I love California! I think I was meant to live here...no scary hair(frizzies because of Ohio humidity!) Anyway, heard Khaled Hosseini interviewed. Very elequent...maybe it's just because I love accents, but really he spoke about important issues and I not only enjoyed but learned something. He said his books weren't based on his life but there were parallels. There wasn't a lot to do in Kobel (spelling?) when he was growing up (no tv, computers, etc) so family became even more important. He discussed both of his books. Kite Runner when completed he had personal satisfaction that he could do. More was expected with A Thousand Splended Suns, especially more difficult because of the female perspective.
Went back to the expo for a little bit...learned about Gale's new readers advisory database...looks good. Didn't win any Super Tuesday prizes...darn!
The closing session was an interview with Diahann Carroll. Very fun to see Dr. Burk's mom (only Grey's anatomy fans will understand!). Very interesting woman. Enjoyed it and I think I will enjoy her book that comes out in October. I think it was called The Legs are the First to go.
Now off to the LAX!
