What I'm reading.

More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
--This is the second book in a series, "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark," and is second in a three book series that ends with "Scary Stories 3, More Tales to Chill Your Bones." An interesting childrens book based on folklore and myths centered around one theme, "to scare the living dickens out of you and your friends." I enjoy the series extensively, so much so that even though I'm 34 years old, reading them still gives me the chills. This is a great little series for anyone serious about starting to read. These books make a great transition from short childrens books to chapter books and I highly recommend them.

The First Days of School, How to be an Effective Teacher
--A book written by Harry Wong. It's an excellent book for anyone wanting to become a better teacher. I'm enjoying it a lot and believe that it has a lot more valuable stuff in it than I'll ever be able to apply within the sphere of teaching English in Korea, however a real treasure and something every teacher should have.
