        Just finished this wonderful one last night. In my mind it's the book that The Overstory (which I liked too) wishes it could have been. Not many books make me cry happy tears at the end. This one did. @legroff

      @legroff An entertaining academic satire, but the humor hides a deeper point that one of the blurbs helped me see: it "imagines the work of teaching with compassion and urgency."

    @legroff Brilliant, moving novel by @VascoDaGappah that gives voice to the African men & women around David Livingstone's last expedition. Made me think of another of my favorite books this year, The Sweetest Fruits by @Monique_Truong.

      @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong OK, I didn't read all of these, but I read Auden's "For the Time Being" every year at Christmas and always find something new to appreciate about it.

        @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong I've been wanting to read @atticalocke's new book "Heaven My Home" but figured I should read this one first---it was every bit as good as advertised! A mystery set in East Texas with profound messages about race, community, & history.

          @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong @atticalocke Got this one as a Christmas gift last year but just got to it this holiday season. @JoyMLRankin tells a compelling "bottom up" history of personal computing that challenges the "Founding Fathers" myths of Silicon Valley.

            @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong @atticalocke @JoyMLRankin And @KevinLevin's book, in addition to dismantling what he dubs "the Civil War's most persistent myth," deepens our understanding of enslaved people's experiences within the Confederacy. I learned a lot from this must-read!

              @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong @atticalocke @JoyMLRankin @KevinLevin The "Deathly Hallows" of university novels, this one by @Lbardugo is a horror/fantasy/mystery set amidst Yale's secret societies. Much gorier than this faint-hearted reader typically enjoys, but definitely a page-turner.

                @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong @atticalocke @JoyMLRankin @KevinLevin @Lbardugo And speaking of page-turners, that's also fitting here. I learned a ton from @william_sturkey's book on Hattiesburg and couldn't put it down. A beautifully written biography of a community that complicates our picture of the New South and the "nadir."

                  @legroff @VascoDaGappah @Monique_Truong @atticalocke @JoyMLRankin @KevinLevin @Lbardugo @william_sturkey P.S. Accidentally left this off the stack for the first picture. It's been on my to-read list for a while and didn't disappoint!
