The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin. I've already started this one, but so far it's excellent. I love Seth Godin. He's part Sir Ken (more on him later) and part Steven Jobs.
Speaking of Sir Ken, here is the next one of my list: the sequel to the phenomenal The Element.
I also have brought him this classic from Neil Postman: The End of Education.
I like to re-read this one every summer just to get recharged. Plus, I'd love to be able to use it as a text in the Intro to Ed course I'll be teaching Tuesday nights at UND next semester.
Simon Sinek's Start With Why.
Like with so many other books, I began this one during the school year. I just made it part way through and then ran out of steam.
It is based off Sinek's great TED Talk (see below).
I ordered this one the same time as I ordered Godin's The Icarus Deception. I just never had a chance to start reading it. Until now.
But I firmly believe this should be the chief function of our schools: Creating Innovators.
Finally, I have a little fluff too on my summer reading list.
I'd love to get a chance to read the Hunger Games trilogy. But we'll see.
I have been reading stories from this anthology of werewolf tales.
I have to say that the "The Gentleman's Hotel" by Joe R. Lansdale and "In the Lost Lands" by George R. R. Martin (Kristie is trying to get me to read the whole Song of Fire and Ice series but I don't have a decade to spare) are some of the best werewolf tales I've read in a long time. And "The Werewolf" by Tanith Lee is also exceptional and has one of the creepiest chase scenes I've read.
Now this reading list doesn't take into account any of the books I might just discover during the summer either. Right now I'm very tempted to order this one -
