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

    I just finished Jane Austen's Persuasion. Hadn't read any Jane since college; enjoyed it!

    "I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood."

    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.
