As of Thursday night my summer started with the close of the 2010-11 school year. Now I need to grab some books to read this summer. Suggestions?
In general I like to read in four areas. Education, Politics, History, and Sci Fi / Fantasy
Here is what I have planned so far:
1) The Death and Life of the Great American School System: How Testing and Choice Are Undermining Education by Diane Ravitch.
This book should help with some additional troll slaying on here.
2) Peter the Great by Robert Massie
Passed along by a friend as an interesting read.
3) The Buyout of America: How Private Equity Will Cause the Next Great Credit Crisis by Josh Kosman
I purchased this a little while back and never got around to reading it.
4) A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book One by George R.R. Martin.
HBO got their hooks into me on this one.
Anything else y'all can suggest?
