have you heard about Schuyler?

Back at Christmas I received a few of books that I had really really wanted. Lucky for me my MIL always checks my Amazon Wishlist when she buys me presents! But then, as much as I wanted to read them, I couldn’t focus and I just set them aside and kept on reading blogs instead. Then I started my own blog. After a few months I realized I had not read a real book in ages, and that is so very unlike me. I resolved to set the computer aside, at least a little bit. One of those Christmas books was at the top of my to do list: Schuyler’s Monster: A Father’s Journey with His Wordless Daughter.

I never should have waited so long to pick it up, because once I did, I couldn’t put it down. It made me laugh, it made me cry (a lot), and it made me fall in love with Schuyler all over again. The writing is so beautiful and so is she, that you just can’t help it.

See, I’ve been reading Robert Rummel-Hudson’s blog about Schuyler for about 2 years now and it’s one of the first feeds I check to see if it’s been updated, so I already knew the gist of the story. It’s different though, to read bits and pieces here and there, versus reading it all at once on real *gasp* paper, printed with real *gasp* ink.

If you’ve read either the book or the blog, then you already know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’ve never seen either, you should, but I warn you, once you start, you’ll be hooked. I suggest you start here, then here, then just add his feed to your reader. And, you know, go get the book.

    I’ll have to check that book out…I hate it when I put a book aside for a while, then when I read it I get mad at myself for waiting! BTW–your picture on the previous post is gorgeous! You look familiar…I’ve probably seen you walking around the mall of NH before or something! LOL

    Sounds like a great book (and a great blog).

    I just tagged you for another meme!

    I actually read an excerpt from it in a Parenting mag, and it was amazing, I cried, I can’t wait to read the book in it’s entirety.
