Reading one of The 3 Novels

Let me first say that signing up for this class is mandatory and now I can see why its required as part of the program. My initial thought is why am I going to a class about reading? but to this day it has exceeded my expectations and you know what they say about expectations and disappointment ^_^
I used to read a lot but since entering college my time is dedicated to school texts rather than recreational reading so even when school is out I just find something else to do rather than read although i do keep up with Men's Health :) I never realized that there were so many components to Literacy and the more you read the more fine tuned these skills become.
The reason I think we are reading these novels is because we can see that there are so many different lenses and angle which we can view pedagogy in action and each one of these books gives us a different perspective. Dr Wilber could have given us any three novels to pick from but these had a specific purpose as stated above.
I am reading Teacher Man and I think it is phenomenal because it is a book where myself or anyone can relate to since it takes u back if you are older, to your school days, or if you just left high school, or observing one now, that the dynamics of the class and school still has some basic principles that would never change in American classrooms of abroad and that there was at least one teacher that stood out among the rest and that might be the one who has doubts and question themselves on what the hell did I get myself into. So these books show us the trials, errors challenges and success that arises out of teaching which we can all relate and learn from as past or present teachers.
