June 9, Monday evening -- Reading Stephenie Meyer

Waiting for the traffic light -- readers don't cross when the light is red
Reading Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. She's reading these with a coworker -- good water cooler conversation, she said. They also read the Harry Potter books.

If she were to write her own book, it'd be a family history. She grew up in the Bay Area, went to Washington high school, and is the fourth generation in her family who has lived here. Her great grandfather came from China during a time when there were quotas on immigration from China and it was common to change your name. Finding sponsors was necessary.
