		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working very hard to keep my mind open to multiple views of the world. I have my ideology, but I don&#8217;t want to become isolated within it. So, I force myself to read things that appear contrary to my belief system.
To that end, I just finished reading Carolyn Chute&#8217;s novel The School on Heart&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I was reading a few poems this morning, it came to me that poems and literature are to be savored not studied. When I read a poem, I roll it around in my mouth like a lovely wine and appreciate that subtle nuances that make up its many layers. The same with the novel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today my husband asked, &#8220;what makes a poem?&#8221; It was an honest question. He had picked up a book of poetry I have been slowly reading &#8211; one or two a day. He couldn&#8217;t quite make sense of the one he read. &#8220;Why is it a poem?&#8221; He asked. &#8220;It was telling a story.&#8221;
I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m reading Julia Alvarez&#8217;s book In the Time of Butterflies. I love her writing. I&#8217;ve read How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and used When Tia Lola Came to Stay in my methods class, but this book, more than any of her others is devastating. I also love Allende&#8217;s writing. And Marquez. And Borges.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I learned about the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick from an article in the local paper by Jack Garner. I was intrigued, bought the book, and just read it.
The book is an homage to the early movies, it is the story of a child&#8217;s perseverance, a story of hope, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are too many things buzzing around and rather than being nice clear ideas with identifable relationships to one another, I&#8217;m finding that nothing is holding its shape. I mean, just look at the number of categories I&#8217;ve selected for this post.
To continue the metaphor, what I need to do is identify the nucleus, because [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m always looking for books to use with my students to spark them as literate beings as well as ways for them to spark their future students. I&#8217;m excited about the stack (all right, two stacks) of books to read. The problem is, I have an older [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Literature is an issue for me. Just what constitutes literature. I have an undergraduate degree in English and a MS in English Education. I love to read. But frankly I don&#8217;t care much for what the Englishy types call literature. Much is presumptuous and pretentious. It&#8217;s a matter of cultural capital rather than really affecting [...]]]></description>

Micromessaging by Stephen Young. I read this at the beginning of the summer as part of the Fisher diversity program. It&#8217;s really conversation analysis (Sacks, Schegloff) taken into the corporate world. But [...]]]></description>

One of the memorable scenes is how she goes into the rest rooms and washes her [...]]]></description>
