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.

2004-03-29 0440993717 The Wave Strasser, Todd ENG486
  An optional book for ENG486 (the other choices were Ironman and Speak), The Wave is based on a true story about a classroom experiment in 1969 that turned out unexpectedly. A history teacher wanted to teach his students about the rise to power of the Nazis. I think the book's more interesting for the idea than for the writing. It might go well with other World War II/Holocaust-themed books.
