			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.monolithpress.com/projects.php?projectID=5" target="_blank"><img style="padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px" src="http://www.monolithpress.com/projects/happiest_cover_sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" align="left" /></a> I just finished reading <a href="http://www.monolithpress.com/projects.php?projectID=5&amp;referer=critz.org" target="_blank">The Happiest Days of Our Lives</a>, by <a title="His blog is always a good read" href="http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/?referer=critz.org" target="_blank">Wil Wheaton</a>. It&#8217;s a short book, which works out well for me. My attention span has gone to shit over the years, and just trying to squeeze time in for reading is hard.</p>
<p>The book is a compilation of stories from Wil&#8217;s earlier years. The stories make for a great read. Some will make you laugh, while others will sadden you. And more than one is very easy to relate to. I really enjoyed the book. Reading it caused me to recall some great memories from my past as well.</p>
<p>While the book was enjoyable, the last section of the &#8216;Acknowledgments&#8217; made me smile the most:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Finally, I always thank my ninth-grade English teacher, Mrs. Lee, who told me I was the worst writer she&#8217;d ever read and that I&#8217;d never amount to anything because I was a &#8216;stupid actor.&#8217; I&#8217;ll keep on doing my best to show her &#8211; and every other teacher who thinks it&#8217;s awesome to insult and belittle their students &#8211; how very wrong she was.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Good for you, Wil.</p>
