Currently reading Critical Lessons by Nell Noddings (in paper-- no ebook version available). Non-fiction, about how we don't teach (or even use) critical thinking in public schools. Despite this being an "assigned" book, I'm really enjoying it, and I recommend it to others who are interested in considering different ways we might structure schools-- and even different ways we might explore controversial issues.
Also reading Foundation by Mercedes Lackey, which is pretty much escapist mind-candy, but not bad (despite the rather unoriginal title), though certainly not her best work. I'm debating whether I want to get on a library list for Brisingr, buy it as an ebook, or wait for the last book to be finished before I bother with it.
