I am reading The Reader as I want to read the book before the movie comes out. I also recommend Don't Bother Me, Mom, I'm Learning if you want to read about technology and education and impacts.

How is it so far? I am a big fan of Card's work. I am currently listening to Ender's Game. I read it when it first came out but I am enjoying the audiobook.

Just finished Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." It was fantastic!

A book I finished not too long ago that continues to impact my view of education, particularly implementing "change" is The New Meaning of Educational Change by Michael Fullan.

Mindset: the new psychology of success by Carol Dweck. It will change the way you think about yourself and teaching :-)

I'm reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.
I read it many years ago, but forgot most of it ;-).
It's good, but I feel like choking Roark sometimes!

Rand bothers me. I heard the audio book and it was creepy to hear a male narrator reciting the female lines.

You and I will never be reading the same thing!! Do you discuss what you are reading with your wife? I don't think so. :)
How would you find an introduction to "real" computer programming for kids? Back in the day we used QBasic with 5th and 6th graders who wanted an intro to programming. Where would I start today? Remember that I plan to be ABSOLUTELY NO HELP to the students.
