I am currently reading "Free Wheeling"--Richard Lovett
Lately, I have this thing for reading books on people bicycling across the U.S. One day I hope to do that myself but, until then, I will just live vicariously through other peoples stories
Next on my list is....."A Crossing"--Brian Newhouse
I also just finished "Miles from Nowhere"---awesome read---highly recommend it!

I signed up for the summer reading club at the library. I checked out "Deadliest Sea: The Untold Story Behind the Greatest Rescue in Coast Guard History"
I don't usually like nonfiction, but this is really good.

I recently finished The Help by Katheryn Stockett. I really enjoyed it. I haven't started another book yet.

Reading the Bible, by James Kugel. It's an in depth look at the old testament from the viewpoint of both the ancient philosophers and modern archeologists/ anthropologists and historians.

I'm working my way through The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene and I love watching Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.
A couple of kid books - the latest in the Sisters Grimm series and Keeper by Kathi Appelt. She won a Newberry Honor for The Underneath, an excellent story, but a little too disturbing for me to do as a read aloud with most classes. Keeper, while thought provoking, is more upbeat.
Yesterday I read The Rider by Tim Krabbe. Being on vacation is grand.
I'm teaching a 4/5 combo next year and I've already got my first two novels planned out, which meant rereading both. Yeah, I'm on vacation, but I like planning.
