I always find it bewildering because I can only budget so much time and so much money towards summer reading and so I try to pick carefully and then I usually wonder if I picked right. It is almost as traumatic for me every summer, as buying a new car is every 10-15 years. I get my list from tipsters and others and try to read all the reviews I can find so I allocate my precious resources of time and money to the "best" books, and never quite know if I did it right. Sigh. So, with that said, what has anyone read recently that they would highly recommend and that they enjoyed? The Myth of Sanity The Trauma Myth Ok, what else? I am looking for both junk food for my mind as well as nutritious stuff. Last summer I read Derek Bok's Our UnderAchieving Colleges and think it was the best of all books I read last summer. I'm planning to reread the Bransford et al book on How People Learn. Over the year I plowed my way through the entire series of Constable Evans books by Rhys Bowen. I actually contacted the author to see when the next book might come out in the series but she emailed back that her publisher has put the series on hold because it might be picked up for TV in Britain. Sigh. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
