| | 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: ENG346
| 2004-01-22 | 0136984991 | Prentice Hall Literature: Bronze | Prentice Hall, Inc. | ENG346 | | | We have to do a textbook critique so I checked this one out of the Educational Resource Center at Wright State. I'll let you know what I think of it shortly. | | 2004-01-13 | 1404336621 | The Uncommercial Traveller | Dickens, Charles | ENG346 | | | ENG346 is Reading Workshop, a class about learning how to teach kids about reading, and one thing we're learning is that we should give our students time in class to read books of their choice. We learn by doing so we each have had to choose books ourselves to read for about 15 minutes each class. I chose this book because I'd read some Dickens in ENG353 last spring but had never heard of this title, which I was able to in e-book format, meaning I wouldn't have to carry yet another book to class. | | 2004-01-05 | 0801312604 | How Porcupines Make Love III | Purves, Alan C., Theresa Rogers and Anna O. Soter | ENG346 | | | Required for my Reading Workshop class, this book is billed as an explanation of the reader-based approach to literature teaching in middle and high school. | |
