| | 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.

| 2004-10-10 | 085468039X | Konrad Adenauer: 1876-1967 | Prittie, Terence | GER403 | | | Although the title on the dust jacket reads Adenauer: A Study in Fortitude, the title inside (and that corresponds with the book's Library of Congress number, 70-163245) is Konrad Adenauer: 1876-1967. At any rate, this is the book I used for my report, despite Prittie's accurately predicting that he was "still too close the Adenauer era to expect [that this book would become] 'the' definitive biography." Nevertheless I found this book enjoyable to read, and as it covered the Spiegel scandal and the last part of Adenauer's life, it was sufficient for me. | |
