“get lit rising” – poetry book – high school kids – read it going down to mobile – well, technically, when i was in mobile b/c i was driving when i was going down

“scripture and the English poetic imagination” – good pair for the first book b/c this book’s premise is that we’re losing our poetry today b/c we don’t know scripture – sadly, a lot of the lit references were way beyond me:)

“the darkening age” – good pair with the second book on the list b/c of ovid – although, he was a lot worse in this book:) anyway, the book was about Christianity’s darker edges – and past – from about 300 AD – when it came into governmental power – until the middle ages – this book tends to get extreme ratings – people love it or hate it – probably based upon their beliefs in the Christian faith – so that aspect of the book fascinated me

“108 stitches” – great baseball book full of stories i could share with my father – just in time for middle school baseball practice

“soccerwomen” – favorite book in a while – history of the women’s game – lots i didn’t know – i’m ready for world cup:)
