About meI am a former public school teacher (high school special ed) and am currently beginning PhD study at the University of Delaware (Education). I have two masters degrees: one in Political Science (U of Richmond) and one in Special Education (McDaniel College.
Reading is my number 1 hobby. I am currently in the top 250 reviewers on amazon.com and I write reviews like some people play basketball. I receive advanced copies from the amazon vine program, as well as several other outlets (including, on occasion, from individual authors). I just love reading!
My other hobbies are: enjoying wines, playing and watching tennis, and blogging on my blog Education Philosopher" and on a group blog called Liberty and Reason (http://libertyreason.wordpress.com/) I also love listening to jazz.
In other words, I am a N-E-R-D.
About my libraryMy library tends towards nonfiction in the areas of philosophy, education, politics, psychology, science, etc.
One of my favorite authors of all time is the philosopher/psychologist William James. Other than that, my favorites change way too much for me to write them down in cyberspace!

but I'd really suggest that you look at something more foundational to start with. There was, for instance, a two volume set of Penguin/Pelican reading books in the 70s entitled Economics Of Education: Readings ed. by M. Blaug that had a lot of fundamental readings in it. The West volumes I suggested also have a lot of this sort of thing in them, but these Penguin/Pelican reading books had a wider focus.
