“If you have a world view that can be undone with a novel, let me submit that the problem is not with the novel,” broaches author and vlogger John Green.

I'm hoping I didn't intimidate any budding English enthusiasts out there with yesterday's post on Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. It's a challenging read but I am quite sure that many of my students will enjoy it. Today's post is easier: a YouTube video of the song Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen with lyrics to read (or sing!) along. Enjoy.

    My goal is to pique your interest, to get you to stay a minute or more, so you don't even realize you are doing something that advances your English.
