Reading Results

I've finished both the book on the hip-hop generation and the one on home educating. While I definitely recommend the Boyer book to those who are interested in a bit of background philosophy and a few tips on home education (he dislikes the term "homeschool"), I'd recommend the hip-hop book only with a couple grains of salt. The facts are interesting, but the interpretation is decidedly liberal. There is, of course, some truth what she says; there is always a bit of truth on both sides of the fence. Personally, I think it was worth reading to see the dilemma facing young black Americans as many of them see it.

    Allright, a POST! I've only checked about 12 hundred billion times today. :-)

    It looks like you need a "recently read, recommended with reservations" column.

    Hmm...I'm thinking that almost everything I read, I would recommend. I'm wondering if that means I'm not broad enough in my selection

    Perhaps it means you are more selective in your reading choices, and thus do not waste time on undesirables.
