I just can't read it; I have no frame of reference.

I really like this book. I like the author's writing style: his mix of academic information with personal stories. I like the way the book is organized. He makes his point easily and efficently. It is very tight and compact book.

Books on educatioin put me to sleep, but his writing is similar to what I am familiar with in religious books. It's really the perfect transition book for me.

But I just cannot read it. I skimmed it. Maybe next summer after I have a year of teaching under my belt I will revisit it.
