| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

Class: L?neburg1
| 2004-06-23 | 3190116008 | em Hauptkurs -- Arbeitsbuch | Perlmann-Balme, Michaela and Schwalb, Susanne | L?neburg1 | | | This is the workbook that goes with this textbook. | | 2004-06-23 | 3190016003 | em, Hauptkurs: Deutsch als Fremdsprache f?r die Mittelstufe | Perlmann-Balme, Michaela and Schwalb, Susanne | L?neburg1 | | | Pretty standard German textbook, with chapters each with a topic such as professions, the future or cars, with related vocabulary and with a grammar concept. Having taken three years of German I didn't think I knew all the vocabulary (that'll take forever), but I did think I had the grammar pretty well down pat. I was wrong though -- there was still stuff for me to learn. | | 2004-06-23 | 3190272557 | Lehr- und ?bungsbuch der deutschen Grammatik: A Practice Grammar of German: New Edition | Dreyer, Hilke and Schnitt, Richard | L?neburg1 | | | This is more of a reference book than a textbook, although it does include exercises for practice. The same book is available with the explanations of the grammar done in various languages including German and Spanish. I got the English version, so I didn't have to get headaches trying to figure out even more German while I was trying to learn German, but I don't feel too bad about that since my Spanish and Mexican classmates got the book in their native language too. | |
