Back from the beach… wishing that I had two weeks there, not one.

I didn’t do as much reading as I’d hoped, but I read Blink and The Cluetrain Manifesto — Cluetrain was a "re-read / finish," but I was glad I did.

Both texts have something interesting to teach us about education. And I think that’s interesting for me right now… looking at texts / ideas that are not specifically education-related and finding out what wisdom they have for those of us in schools. I promise to do some writing about each of the texts, but that’ll wait until after coffee.

Until then… what non-education texts have you read that had powerful ramifications on the way you looked at schools / the classroom / education and how did they change the way you thought?
