Weird noun. I do have some books waiting around, shooting their "hands" up in the air when I have finished with whatever current tome I am reading. Me! Me!, they say. Well, let's see...there's Blue Highways, As I Lay Dying, and World Without End sitting around in the queue. The Road -? Not your typical McCormack, but I think that's ground that's been well covered.

So here goes: Last Child in the Woods Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv- heard an interview on NPR bought the book and only read the first couple of pages so far The Gift of Good Manners- A Parent's Guide to Raising Respectful Kind, Considerate Children by Peggy Post and Cindy Post Senning - Given to me by my mom... do you think she's trying to tell me something? Why Do They Act That Way? A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen by David Walsh, PhD Went to a luncheon where the author spoke and bought his book. My oldest is 10 so I'm hoping I have a few years to read this one. :) What has all these parenting books on the back burner is When You Are Engolfed in Flames by David Sedaris... Love that guy!

You should read it. :) The "shock value" comment cracks me up. I might need to get that book just to stir my visitors up. The Road is great.

Interesting list. I've read the Dawkins, and I own the Cormac McCarthy but unhhhhhh......still haven't read it. Can't tell you why. -Allen Pete,

Laurence Lessig is one of my heroes. The others sound like a lot of the Anti-Library books at my house that fall in the category of belonging to the spousal companion (she's a former lawyer turned children's librarian). Alas, <a href="http://postralphaelite.blogspot.com/2008/06/anti-library.html" rel="nofollow">my list</a> is not so high-minded. Mr Wann, great list.
