John is reading Social Studies For the Twenty-First Century by Jack Zevin, a professor of social studies education. Zevin was a secondary school teacher before becoming a professor at Queens College. This is a recently published book about inquiry and discovery teaching methods.
I have discovered the author Jonathan Carroll; I am currently listening to The Wooden Sea, which is a wonderful mix of humor, oddities, and mystery, the perfect entertainment for a cold winter night. If you have someone in your life who will read aloud to you, I highly recommend it.
Louise Erdrich, one of my favorites, has a new short story in the January 10 issue of The New Yorker, available at the Crossroads Library or your local public library.
