Books.

Finished reading Bad Boy by Diane Wieler. Another YA book I took out from my school's library. I guess, I gotta keep up to date with what my kids might possibly read. It was a good book with a focus on hockey and the strain a friend's secret can put on a friendship.

Now I'm reading Hurricane Song by Paul Volponi. It's interesting so far. The narration is sparse and quick to the point. The central characters are clearly African-American only because of side comments from the focused narration. Otherwise, the cultural background could be any that exists.

I'm also reading Experience and Education by John Dewey for a graduate class. (I have paper due in 2 weeks! What the hell? It is an accelerated course that meets 11 times in a span of five weeks.) It's quite the slim volume but the highly educated verbose jargon is ever present. The first 3 pages of the first chapter were intense but then the second 3 pages dragged and lost the powering steam the first 3 built up.

I guess the shift of the blog is to push it into maintaining a record of the books I read since I read a lot for grad school, for my job and for fun when I get a chance.
