Summer Reading

How glorious to have the seemingly endless time to really read. Aside from travel picks at the airport ("Room", "Her Fearful Symmetry", "Angels and Demons"). In between beach time with "The History of Love" by Nicole Krauss (recommended by a new librarian friend of mine) and an ever present Jim Harrison novel, I am spending my summer with some work related reading.
The following are on my list--let's hope the vacation time allows for some thorough digestion.

"Raising Cain" - Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson
"The Courage to Raise Good Men" - Olga Silverstein and Beth Rashbaum
"Pink Brain-Blue Brain" - Lise Eliot
Obviously preparing for the new school year after the enlightening workshop by Biff Maier at the AMS conference in Chicago.
"Tomorrow's Children" - Rianne Eisler (from the last conference in New Orleans!)
Montessori Classroom - Paula Polk Lillard (I don't know, I tend to bring this along because it always helps me shed the old year and prepare for the next in a familiar way -- old habits.)

Pour me another glass of iced tea -- I'm heading down to the beach.
