Hell, I don't even have a book, but it doesn't stop me from posting what I 
think and write....

Besides, everyone here buys the books mentioned.  I'm sure Elaine and Nancy 
will sell quite a few copies based on what is being discussed here, so 
what's the problem?  I know I have bought many books based on the 
recommendations of the people here...I trust your opinions.  And like any 
good book, most have led me to others, and I'm (I hope) a better teacher (if 
not a better person) for reading them.

Right now, I'm reading TOTALLY POSITIVE TEACHING by Joseph Ciaccio, 
GENERATION ME by Jean Twenge, THE END OF EDUCATION by Neil Postman, THE 
TEACHER'S CALLING by Gloria Durka, and LETTER TO MY SON ON THE LOVE OF BOOKS 
by Roberto Controneo....and that's just my professional reading!  Have MOT, 
2nd edition on order, of course!  That doesn't include my LOOOONG list of 
non-professional lurid romances, thrillers, fantasy, and young adult novels 
(do they count as professional also?).  Any other suggestions for summer 
reading?
