A few of my favorite things: dogs. Cats. Sugar Bears. Feminism (woo!). Alpha Sigma Tau (anchored for life!). Tattoos. Fitness pole dancing. Yummy craft beers. Vermont. Snowboarding. Snowmobiling. Snow. Large bodies of water.
A few of my favorite books: "The Handmaids Tale," "Stargirl," and the "Harry Potter" series.
An awesome quote to live by from Herm Albright: "a positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."

After pestering her mother to read her The Tale of Peter Rabbit for the hundredth time at the age of four, Amy was urged to, "Go read it yourself." She did, and hasn't stopped reading since. She mostly reads fiction, biography and memoir and enjoys depravity and murder. She looks for strong characters (fictional or non,) a powerful voice and something to stun her or shift her perspective.

At the age of eight, Krysta's mother read her 1984 (among other questionable titles). This may have been so that Krysta could truly appreciate literature, or so she could understand the nature of our world. Most likely it was because Krysta's mother believed that it was her job to scare the daylights out of her children whenever possible. In any case, the odd choices of literature resulted in all three of the above.

After a long day of cruisn’ through the
various adventures in life (Indiana Jones has nuttin’ on me), nothing hits the
spot like…chocolate. But once you say chocolate that’s all you need say. So these
pages are dedicated to a few of my other passions: alligator wrestling, bull
riding, reading books (big books, little books, picture books, no pictures
books, even little black books), listening to music (from A to Z and back
again) and a variety of other things. So take a minute to browse some of my
faves and I hope they become some of yours.

A native Vermonter, Alden works in the music department at the Northshire. He is also in charge of the DVDs and tries very hard to have titles that customers might not readily find elsewhere. He loves film, especially ones that have either trains or Elizabeth Taylor in them. Alden contributes a weekly column on the movies to the Bennington Banner. His other interests include shipwrecks, Jack the Ripper, Peggy Lee, and real country music. Other staff members at the Northshire are very tolerant as he rambles on about the Andrea Doria and they probably know a lot more about the Ripper than they ever thought they would.

Growing up in the bookstore was a treat. Books have literally been in my blood since I was young. Now I mostly read books about the state of the world or the various possible futures we might face. I hope books, learning, communication, dialog, and the chance to ponder possibilities beyond our everyday lives will contribute to a world which thrives culturally, economically and environmentally.
