The wonderful speech that David Levithan gave at Reading Matters is now available as a podcast. You all should listen to this passionate, galvanising call to arms that left most everyone wanting to go out and slay vampires right that very minute. Or, you know, get the books that kids need into their hands.
I’m still mulling over my response to David’s call to arms. On the one hand, I think he’s totally right. On the other, it’s so annoying to have a foreignor come in, spend a few minutes in the country, and then tell us Aussies what to do! We hates it, we do. Especially when they’re right . . .
Wow. That really was an amazing speech.
My, my…can’t we just leave the vampires ALONE?! 😉
It really was an amazing speech.
Yeah, he’s absolutely right. But don’t feel too bad. He could make that same speech in the UK and be just as right.
I know. I so want him to be wrong. He so isn’t.
foreignor? foreigner? I am all discombobulated.
