On Track

At the end of January I read Look Me In The Eye by John Elder Robison. It was an interesting look at the life of some one with Asperger's. It made me reflect on students I've taught and wonder about all the characteristics that can be misunderstood in a person.

Yesterday I finished Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell. This book analyzes factors that allow people to become outliers and attempts to prove that success is not only based on personal attributes, but the influences that surround a person. I really enjoyed this book--it made me think, gave me arguments to evaluate and analyze.

My goal is to read 1 nonfiction/month, and I am at 3 for the year. Still on track.
