Over the past few years, I have found hundreds of free complete collections of the works of the greatest authors. Not that I don't purchase non-free books, mind you, but it's wonderful to own everything of Dickens, the Shelleys, Doyle, Stoker, Twain, the Bard, Austen, Lovecraft, Fitzgerald, Woolf, Wilde, Gibbons, etc. on my Kindle. At last count, I have close to 14,800 items that I can download. Now I just a need a couple of lifetimes to read it all.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

“You had a dream; I have a plan”--Cyclops
“There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.”--The Doctor
As a social studies teacher, I thought I'd brush up on American history, particularly that concerning minorities. Indeed, these are the stories aren't usually told in the textbooks. Just finished reading Ray Suarez's Latino-Americans: The 500-Year Legacy That Shaped A Nation:
Now I'm in the middle of reading Ronald Takaki's Strangers From A Different Shore: A History of Asian Americans:
Certainly hope to bring these narratives and voices into whatever class I teach .

The pages I read today great and exciting a rescue, action with gun shots.
I possibly might be finishing this book this week. Then I'll be reading the 2nd Elvis Cole PI book which is Stalking The Angel.

It’s a history book that profiles cult leaders, religious fanatics, charlatans, revivalists, radicals, and nutjobs from nineteenth century America.

On Immunity: An Inoculation. It's ok, but she goes a little off-topic in parts, straying too far from a logical argument to one of philosophy. I think it's an interesting read for those interested in widening their perspective on vaccines, but it wasn't what I expected.
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Now reading True Evil (2006) by Greg Isles.
