So many books...

Last Monday I went to the lecture that Bill Ayers and Ryan Alexander-Tanner gave about To Teach: The Journey, in Comics.

I could go on and on about how neat it was to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the book, and how cool it was to go through the comics workshop with Ryan afterwards, but the book itself is the obvious star.  I've read it through a time and a half so far, and I imagine it will get a couple more reads before I talk much more about it, but it's added now to the reading list on the right side of this page.  Yay progress!

Also, yesterday I checked out six books from the Flaxman and ordered another four or five from i-Share, all about social justice, Living Newspaper, and education in a multicultural, multiracial setting.  First up:  Becoming and Unbecoming White: Owning and Disowning a Racial Identity .
