One of my professors at U of L once shared with me that a good way to get to know someone is to ask them what they're reading. While I'm currengly reading a number of books, many related to teaching, I though I'd let you know a little about me by sharing some of my favorite reads, which include, but are not limited to the following, in no particular order:

The Learning Tree, by Gordon Parks
The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver
The Sound and the Fury, by William Faulkner
A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving
The House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros
Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury
Winesburg, Ohio, by Sherwood Anderson
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie
The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, by Melissa Bank
