| | 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.

ISBN: 059042792X
| 2004-02-24 | 059042792X | My Brother Sam is Dead | Collier, James Lincoln & Collier, Christopher | ENG385 | | | This was one of the optional choices for ENG385 (during the war themed literature circles). I liked it because it presents a point of view from the American Revolution not very much seen, that of Americans who wanted to remain loyal to the British crown. Every war has at least two sides, and I think it's good for kids to see that opponents of the American Revolution weren't necessarily bad people (I know that makes me sound like a hopeless liberal). | |
