Recently I organized my collection of books in my study at home. Over the years I have accumulated literally thousands of books, not all of them great or mind-blowing. Lately, I have focusing on the QUALITY of my library not the QUANTITY of books I own. I have pared it down to seven full size bookcases at home (about 1200 books). Of course there are hundreds more books I'd like to get, but quality over quantity is the ideal.
I'm thinking about adding a book discussion forum to this site, as part of an outside reading project for my AP Euro, US Gov & US History classes. Basically instead of a book report or project, students would simply comment on historical (non-textbook) books or historical fiction they are reading... and comment on each others comments, if that makes sense. For Government & Citizenship it could be history (John Adams, etc.) OR current politics (Stephen Colbert, Barack Obama, Glen Beck, etc.).
Just a thought.
