beating the heat with some summer reads…

“through the language glass” – i can now tell you how other cultures learn colors – definitely not a book i thought that it was when i got it – sometimes, books do that to you – but, got through

“seeing Jesus in East Harlem” – since i’m running the NYC marathon this fall, i count this book as preparation:) it was good – a pastor in that area talked about community building and relationships – the parts about race wouldn’t fly well in most suburban, white communities – but he was right in his critique

“fearless” – eagles head coach – doug peterson – it was funny b/c i’d read a book earlier – like less than a week earlier – saying that doug wasn’t a great coach – and in this book, doug took that guy to task as not being good either – so back and forth:)

“munson” – north shelby library book on yankees legend – i knew a lot about him b/c of other books – the last 100 pages were on his tragic death

“gilgamesh” – the book i read for class this week was good – and quick – learned a few things i can use with eighth grade this year (apologies to all those who have already passed through:)

“gridiron genius” – the book that knocked peterson – it did have some good stuff on saban – and practically worshipped the patriots coach

“green” – one of the best of the bunch – white sixth grader at a boston public school in the late 1980s grows up a bit and learns some lessons through a year
