Reading Update

You wil notice that I have added an extensive list of books to my sidebar. Do you see any reading themes for this summer?!?!? Only 1776 and Widow of the South are my "choice" reads. The others are either for classroom professional development or the two classes that I am taking this summer.

I'm spending one week at Converse College studying the American Revolution in the south through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (hence as the AR books.....I still have one more to add to my list, but I don't have the author and title handy and the book hasn't yet arrived from Amazon). Then I'm spending two weeks in Columbia studying American history, from Reconstruction to the 1920s, with the SC Department of Archives. (I still have two more texts for this one, but don't have those titles and authors handy, either.)

It's funny because Ben is working on reading for Barnes and Noble's summer program and Clay is required to read 1000 pages for TWO and 900 minutes for his school. Clay has already read one book A Picture of Hollis Woods and now he's reading The Diary of Anne Frank. Ben is reading Magic Treehouse books. We are going to be some reading fools this summer!!
