<p>Not reading anything at the moment, but the last book I read was "Lies My Teacher Told Me." Great book.</p>
<p>I'm reading picture books and noddy books.</p>
<p>I am now reading "The Master and the Margarita," a great Russian lit book. Easy to get into, and so absorbing I can read it while working out on an elliptical.</p>

<p>The World is Flat...such a fascinating book</p>
<p>thomas friedman is good. try freakanomics you may like it.</p>
<p>^^I love Freakonomics!</p>
<p>Do you agree with their take on teachers.</p>
<p>^^No. While Levitt's argument is sound, I think that he neglects the fact that students who have a good teacher one year will be "inspired," for lack of a better term, to do better in academics and therefore score higher on tests. These same students might fare considerably worse the next year as a result of subpar teaching.</p>
<p>I loved the book in that it presented such different ways of looking at things but I do have to say that there's much that could be debated.</p>
<p>Thats how I felt. I had a long argument with my father on the whole teacher issue.</p>
<p>The Devil in the White City / Erik Larson. This is such a fascinating book...and if you enjoy reading mysteries and murder novels, and a bit of history I'd strongly recomend this book for you.

<p>Here's another rec for Freakonomics- very fun to read. </p>
<p>Currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife.... it's essentially a love story with some time travel paradoxes thrown in for good measure. I hear it's gonna be a movie soon.</p>
<p>I've heard of that.</p>
