2012 Reads
Even though the list of books I long to read keeps growing longer and things unfinished stress me out, it’s bad not to have a goal, right? I constantly add books to my list, so I’m sure it will change frequently. I mainly read non-fiction as I am constantly searching for wisdom and at the risk of repeating myself so much you may want to puke- ways to be intentional. However, I can’t pass up a good fiction book that transports me to another place! Words are beautiful to me, that’s probably why I can’t get enough. So here it is, a list of the books I aim to read in 2012:
Currently Reading:
Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child by Anthony Esolen
The Underground History of American Education by James Taylor Gatto
Parenting/Education:
A Landscape with Dragons: The Battle for Your Child’s Mind by Michael D. O’Brien
The Mysteries of Life in Children’s Literature by Dr. Mitchell Kalpakgian
Created For Work: Practical Insights for Young Men by Bob Schultz (ignore the insanely terrible cover)
Rite of Passage by Jim McBride
Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys by Hal and Melanie Young
Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys by Stephen James and David S. Thomas

So there you have it. For one reason or another, I have come across these books and they have piqued my interest. I’ll let you know how they are. Please send me your recommendations of books I HAVE to read!
