| | 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.

| 2004-08-23 | 0553269151 | Inherit the Wind | Lawrence, Jerome and Lee, Robert E. | CPL310 | | | Based on the famous Scopes evolution trial in Dayton, Tennessee but with the names changed to protect the innocent, this play shows the politics involved in the clash of science and religion and of truth and tradition. Lawrence and Lee wrote this in the 1950s, feeling pretty exasperated at McCarthyism, and they probably wouldn't be surprised to see how religion is being used in the name of politics 50 years later. | |
