One student's source of inspiration, then, is another student's bane of existence. One of the first things I ask students in my teacher education courses is to name one book that inspired them and one they would never inflict on their own students.Įvery time, the same books end up on both lists.
But the fact that I have to work hard to findīooks that stand out for me gives me the ability to assist others who are just like me. I envy people who can read almost anything. Getting more angry and frustrated with each book I pick up and put down. I'll spend an hour in a bookstore looking and looking for a book, Or that is recommended by your local library? I guess I think I know "reluctant" readers because I myself am one. Do you like every book on the bestseller lists, Anyone who believes that ANY book is universally "good" or "bad" has forgotten what reading is to them. My answer is only that I believe I have my finger on the pulse of many reluctant readers.
I believe the success of my suggestions comes only because of one thing: I, myself, like to read these books. I could regale you with my scholarly, publishing, parenting, teaching and volunteering history in an attempt to convince you that "I know what I'm talking about."īut ultimately, one's book-reading choice comes down to the reader being able to answer one question well: "What do I like to read?"
