Hi wemissreadingrainbow, I red the book probably two years ago. I dont think that you necessarily have to be interested in teaching to enjoy the book. The positive thing I still remember from that book is, the way he describes the situation in school, especially his own and along with that the ways he successfully tried to cope with all the folks there.
But if you have already red Angelas Ashes and especially Tis, it is not necessary to read also this book. You can read most of the things described in Teacher man in his earlier book Tis. But despite the fact that Teacher man did not led to some stunning new information I enjoyed the book cause I love the extraordinary way in that McCourt writes and furthermore the way he got through all this difficulties is quite amazing.
i haven't read it yet, but i've heard a million great things about it. i also very much liked his writing style. it's comfortable, i'd say, easy for people to read!
if i read it then i definitely will! i review every book i read, even if i don't like them. that way interested readers can judge whether or not to spend their time on a book by what others think. that's one of the reasons why i think it's so important for you guys to review them as well, then upload them in response to mine. that way it can be a more fair impression of a story.
My original goal this summer of no job was to read all of the books that I own and haven't touched, but this is a much better motivator. 1984 has been on my to do list for ages, I actually bought the commemorative 1984 edition of 1984 with a preface by Walter Cronkite at a small bookstore for a dollar or two and it was coming up on my things to read. To reiterate others, Angela's Ashes was really good as I remember, a really fine autobiography. She's Come Undone reminds me of the Guess Who =]
You'ld look great with perhaps a single diamond dangling from your neck, btw... :)
But... Great choice with 1984 (left me like 'wow' back in the early 90s).
And I can't help but imagine what the world would be like if more 'teachers' would get into leadership political service. No more lawyers!!! :D Make the lawyers do 2-3 yrs of teaching service before they can practice - noooo!!!
Anyway, you'ld make a superbable teacher if you went that route young lady.
i agree about teachers in politics, but i have a hard enough time making myself stay on track with what's happening currently. i'd have an even harder time acting as it was my profession. also, almost all teachers are liberal anyway so it would be pretty biased.
Oddly enough, I've gotten half way through each of your books. I have a problem with finishing books unless it really, really strikes my fancy. I'm halfway through a lot of classics. I'll work on 1984 this summer though!
I like the book circulation idea! I'll get reading. :)
haha, that's what i tend to do, too. i've only recently gotten down to it & started finishing most of the books that i read! so i don't blame you in the least!
& as for your participation in the summer book list: -enter fist up here-
As far as beachside books goes, do you have any parameters? I normally don't read things that are too dense (hard to read, because it is hard to concentrate in the sun) or has an embarrasing desk jacket.
yeah, i agree. what i did was i thought about books that i've read beach side. what happens quite often is i start a book in the summer, but never finish it because i just can't quite get into it, so i picked two books that kept my attention during the summer!
OMG! you are so cute! :O

It's a very very good book.
I found his writing style strange, yet refreshing.
