Books Books every where

So what do teachers do when they have a lot of time at school, and nothing to do? I'll tell you what one teacher did - read. Read a lot. A friggin' lot. Because I sat at school all day. All friggin' day.

Anyway, here's a list of books I put to rest, all recommended reads:

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail (Jerod Diamond) - Excellent book if you like history, sociology, or anthropology. Or any combination of the three. (thought not as good as the predecessor, "Guns, Germs and Steele").

The Unfinished Election of 2000 (various) - a deep look at the constitutional issues surrounding the Bush/Gore election. It was dubbed the "Unfinished Book" by my roommate, who declared it so after having spent the whole year trying to finish it. Good if you're a poli sci person, though I think most would find it less than interesting.

Hitlers Daugher - An interesting children's fiction book that supposes that Hitler had a child that no one knew about. I read it for professional development. Really.

Freakanomics (Steven Levitt & Stephen Dubner) - Its economics but its INTERESTING (though I already like economics). I finished that one in about two days. It asks crazy questions like "Why do drug dealers live with their moms" and "What do the KKK and Real Estate Agents have in common?" They are random questions, but you will start to see the world a little differently after reading this book.

Besides those books, I've read various articles from "Foreign Affairs" magazine and a few short stories from Mark Twain.

Yeah... thats about all I have to say. Because nothing else has been happening.
