You know what I don't want to read right now? A student's five-page paper on how awesome Titanic is. And yet, here I am.

I'll trade you for what I'm reading for a book study:

Common Core Mathematics In A PLC At Work

Ch. 5: Implementing Required Response To Intervention

[Bob Loblaw]

The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux

[Simple Torture]

From another paper: "The main character, Alex, and his best friend, Sammy, chug a bear as two girls enter the room and they have a mini party in their room."

My marginal comment was, of course: "A bear???"

Titanic is pretty great, tho

Nice wordplay, bro

[epilogue]

I forget, did I tell y'all I was reading Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead? Well I am.

My favorite "review" on Goodbooks so far, "The whitest book I read this year, and I read The Marriage Plot."

Maggie has the gift, though. She can fucking write.

I was reading this Buzzfeed list, If You Like This Book By A Man, You’ll Love This Book By A Woman and thought to myself, I read plenty of female authors. Then I went to my book collection and realized all I had for female writers was The Fountainhead and a book of poetry I had to buy for a class (which I like and ended up keeping).

So my next book is going to be something by Annie Moore. Who are the best female authors out there?
