The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

For me, the best part of being a reporter is that I get to hear people's stories. Almost every time I interview someone, I'm amazed by what I learn. In fact, that's somewhat of a job detriment because I often want to learn more about something that has nothing to do with what I'm supposed to be reporting on.

Reporting is a good excuse to get to know people, and getting to know people is often full of surprises. Everyone has a story, and they're often not what one would expect. I think that's a big part of what I liked about the book I'm reviewing this month.
