I'm rediscovering Jethro Tull's Aqualung. I highly recommend it to all y'all.
New favorite book: The Kryptonite Kid by Joseph Torchia. I'm only on page 19, but check this out...
"This unforgettable novel, at once touching and funny, presents Jerry Chariot, an ordinary American kid who writes letters to Superman, because Jerry really believes in The Man of Steel. He is a boy who yearns to be loved and yearns to be Super in an everyday world so filled with unfairness that he must create his own reality--until the book's shattering conclusion makes Jerry realize who Superman really is."
The entire story is told through the letters written to Superman. Genius!
Named a 1979 Best Book for Young Adults by the American Library Association.
A friend bought it for me from a library sale in Ohio. I don't know how easy it will be to find, so keep your eyes open...it's well worth the search.
