in february i read:
into thin air, by jon krakauer (this was a re-read…or rather, a re-listen, since this time around i listened to the audiobook version in the car. this book is the frontrunner for my school's all-upper school summer read. i hadn't read it in 10 years, so i wanted to make sure it was as good as i remembered. IT WAS. omg the suspense! and there are a lot of great things we could talk about with the kids: sherpa culture, the ethical obligations you have to others in a crisis, the role of journalism, the science of what happens to our bodies at high altitudes. i think we have a winner! if you haven't read this book, you must!)
dragonfly in amber, by diana gabaldon (oh yeah, that's right: i read the second book in this historical fiction-romance-time-travel adventure. you read that genre right. at 700 pages, this book took me a while to read, but i really enjoyed it. i will certainly be reading book number three in this series…after a break to read some other things on my list! and at $4.99 for the kindle version, this is basically the cheapest entertainment money can buy.)
