The Red Tent: A Novel
Anita Diamant
Picador, 2007
A must read for all women
This should be assigned reading for all women of the Jewish or Christian faith. This is wonderfully written from a woman's point of view of Biblical times. I have a much better understanding of what life was like for them.

Educational Psychology (10th Edition)
Anita E. Woolfolk
Allyn & Bacon, 2006
Lousy Textbook
I just finished a semester of Ed. Psych. with this textbook. It is like every other textbook you've probably been forced to buy - bloated, overpriced, and contains 10x as much information as your course will ever be able to cover. If you have a choice, look elsewhere.

My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir

Excellent autobiography!
This book really gave me a glimpse into what Justice Thomas felt like growing up with segregation and then fighting throughout his life for equality. He is extremely sincere and honest about his shortcomings in life so the reader really feels as though they got to know ...
