Books:
My favorite book of all-time is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love pretty much anything written by the late Roald Dahl. I Recently read "There Are No Shortcuts", by Rafe Esquith. A great book for teachers and for those who wish to inspire the future generations. I recommend "The Five People You Meet In Heaven", by Mitch Albom. It's a short read, and well worth it. Standing Alone In Mecca, Memoirs of A Geisha, Angela's Ashes, Teacher Man, Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn... And yes, I admit that I have joined the hordes of fans who read Harry Potter.
