My students are often interested in what I'm reading (believe it or not!). We're halfway through 2007 and here's what I've finished reading so far...The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin
Black Swan Green by David Mitchell
Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Banker to the Poor by Muhammad Yunus
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Tritessa by Jack Kerouac
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Collapse by Jared Diamond
Dining with the Devil by Os Guiness
1776 by David McCullough
Satori in Paris by Jack Kerouac
Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick
Candide by Voltaire
I'm currently engaged in reading "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson
All the above books are good but the ones that really stood out to me were "The Songlines," "Midnight's Children," "1776," "Black Swan Green," and "The Road." But I would recommend all these books. It's been a good year reading so far.
Jackson recommends "Fire Engines"
