I was the kind of kid that instantly thought of reading a book on a rainy day rather than joining the neighbor kids to go jump in puddles. I have always loved them as far back as I can remember whether it was a book being read to me, or reading them myself. Grown up, I was lucky enough to find a job that allowed me to work with the same kind of people. Although my studies ensure that I read my fair share of intellectual books mostly revolving around Psychology, I fill my summer with light-hearted novels as well as the occasional autobiography.  Although I may not be in Northern Michigan year round, my heart will always be in the McLean & Eakin bookstore.
