Vejas,
You may not remember me but I think we met at writers' division 
last year
at nationals.  I am glad you decided to attend LCB.  Everyone 
that I know who
has attended has found the training and experience extremely 
valuable to
them and come out of it totally prepared for life.  I also like 
to do some
reading as it relates to cultural context.  I read a book some 
months ago
about an Alaskan native who was a teenager, had not made good 
choices and
was in trouble with the police and how he came to accept his 
heritage.  For
the life of me I can't remember the title of the book! It was on 
BARD
though.  I wouldn't recommend it for someone much younger than 
you because
of some of the language and situations this fellow gets into, but 
the
author's style of writing just pulls you right in and the 
resolution of
this young man's situation is so satisfying at the end.  It may 
be that
someone else on-list has read the same one and can remember 
better than me
the title.  Either way I'm pretty sure you'll get some good 
recommendations.

 Hi All,
 I know it's been a while.  I have been busy with my life at LCB.
 I am looking for good book recommendations.  I really like 
reading about
 other cultures, so would like to read something that either 
takes place in
 another country, or is centered around a culture (like life as 
an immigrant
 or something like that).
 Thanks.
 Vejas

Blindness is not what holds you back.
