Books I'm Hogging From The Library: The March 28, 2009 Edition
Just finishing up spring break week in the Pacific Northwest. Which means--I stayed at home, took care of the kids, and squeezed about 10 minutes of free reading time in during my "break." Here's part of my stack.
Touch Me, I'm Sick: The 52 Creepiest Love Songs You've Ever Heard :: How can a romantic like me not enjoy a book about creepy love songs?
Involving Parents in Their Children's Reading Development: A Guide for Teachers :: To puff up my knowledge about what it takes to get kids to read.
Evangelical vs. Liberal :: Honestly, there isn't much I understand about Churchianity anymore--especially since it looks so different in various parts of the country. This book is a bit heady, but I couldn't resist it. I grew up with "conservatives" and now live with the "liberals." I'm hoping this book clarifies my thinking in some small way.
What Would You Do If You Ran the World?: Everyday Ideas from Women Who Want to Make the World a Better Place :: I call this my "American Idol" book--the one I scan through during commercials and Paula's talks. And yes, I am still in the Dark Ages and own nary a VCR nor a DVR or whatever the honky-tonk those things are called. Anyway, it's a quick read that refreshes me with the theme--"this life is not my own."
Anyone reading something good? Or perhaps something mediocre?

Love your blog - and since moving to NC from Idaho in 2007 I am very much missing some of our favorite vacation spots, like Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast...
I am reading the Johnstown Flood by David McCullough, and he can make anything, any topic, seem larger than life. It started with the HBO mini-series John Adams, which if you haven't seen really is the best 40 hours you could ever spend in front of the TV, and it was based on the book written by McCullough. Now I have to read all of his books. Does that ever happen to you?
I tend to be a bit obsessive about "IT'S ALL OR NUTHIN." So I'll have to look into that David McCullough stuff.
