Juggling Books
I don't believe I've ever attempted this one before. I am currently reading three books and writing another.
In my ACE class, we have the students reading independent novels. To model reading for pleasure, I read as they do. I'm currently about halfway through Last Night in Twisted River. At home, I am working on Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk. When I go on my daily walks, I have The Help on my iPod (which I count as reading). The trick is, the books are radically different, and each has its own time and place.
Thank goodness my sophomores are reading poetry. I'm not sure I could handle a fourth, no matter how many times I've already read it!
