Summer reading for ourselves

[Blaine High School <gelbmann@TIES.K12.MN.US>]

Hi Netters,
   Had to add my two cents worth. I recommend John Sandford's "Prey"
series, which include "Eyes of Prey", "Rules of Prey", etc. I alos like the
legal thrillers of Steve Martini. I find it interesting that so many of us
read mysteries of one sort or another. I read somewhere that people who
read mysteries need completion in their lives. Not a bad match for a
profession that leaves the job in June saying "And in September I will...".
IMHO, if there's not a dead body by page 10, it's not a good book. I do
read Tom Clancy as the exception to the rule. I'll also plug one more time
"Silicon Snake Oil" by Stoll. I don't know that I necessarily agree with
every thing he says but his tribute to libraries and librarians makes me
want to ssend this book to every administrator in the district as required
reading.
