Sarah Anderson says... Don't be afraid to go back and read some of those classics - one of my sisters made fun of me this summer because I hadn't read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. So as not to be the target of her "bullying" I headed for the library and found The Fountainhead - enjoyed it very much!

We listened to the Carol Burnett memoroir on a CD driving back from our parents home in Missouri - it was like having Carol in the car as she was doing the narration. Here's the full title - This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection.

Jodi Spoor says... I downloaded this book on my Kindle this past Spring and love it! It's called __Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard__ by Chip Heath and Dan Heath. They describe how our minds are ruled by two different systems - the rational mind and the emotional mind - that compete for control. The book is an easy read with lots of illustrative stories of everyday people who've made changes that matter and they show a pattern that we can use to do the same. I found applications for my personal and school life and thought of my time in the classroom and how I could have used this info!
