About me I've been reading mainly histories for the last few years. I used to read more broadly, and one day I will again.

About my library Since starting my LibraryThing catalog I've come to realize that I've been grossly underestimating the number of books in my library. As of today (11/13/06) I have probably done far less than half. I have no idea how many I own: many of them have been in boxes for at least 5 years. I am so excited to own my first home: I can now build shelves to bring all my collection out into the light of day.

I teach AP United States history during the school year and a summer institute on early American history, historical archaeology, and native American history. I'm north of Boston. Yourself?

I finally got around to changing that LU group picture!
It's funny you immediatly recognized it as sculptured of bunnies... I think I only figured that out sometime my junior year myself :)
Hmmm. I was a high school AP student way back in the 80s, and I remember mostly just liking SciFi, and even talking my 11th grade English teacher into letting me do a research paper on Vonnegut. John Gardner's Grendel was a fave, at least back then, as was Portrait of an Artist.

I'll think about it a bit, and see if any good suggestions come to mind.
re: History books for teenagers. What are some you've assigned so far that went over well?
Hi there,

I provided a cover for Man in Black, so if you have the same one, enjoy! Thanks for dropping me a line (a long time ago)!
