Reminder to check our books

| | Comments (2)

I also wanted to issue a reminder for all my readers to check out our reading selections in the right sidebar. Up to now, I haven't been real careful about updating my reading because I sometimes read more than a book a week, so it just seems dumb to put stuff up for a couple days. But now I'm getting into some more interesting topics, so I thought people may want to comment or question stuff that I'm reading. I type reading notes for many of these books before class which could easily be converted into postings, so if somehting I'm reading catches your interest, email me and I'll post something with a line for comments.

Also, I am now accepting offers for guest bloggers. If something is on your mind, email your thoughts to me. If I think it fits in with this page and is worth a post, I'll give you a temporary log-in name and a password to post. The only difference between this and simply posting a comment yourself is that it will appear as upper-level, "frontpage" material, with an independent line for comments. One caveat--I will only give this option to people I know personally--no weirdos highjacking my site!

I'd be interested in what the book you're reading about "illegal aliens" (hate that phrase) has to say. It's a subject close to my heart since my husband is an immigrant who fell into that category upon his arrival here 5 years ago. We're still straightening out immigration stuff. I'm not advocating it by any means, I just think folks (who, by the way, wouldn't know an "illegal alien" if they saw one) tend to take an unnecessarily harsh stance on the issue. Let me know. I find it interesting that the cover of the book depicts Hispanic folks working out in the fields. Do the authors mention that there are folks who would qualify as illegal aliens here from many countries doing many different jobs? Not every Hispanic is illegal and not every Canadian is legal. Thanks for listening to my soapbox.

Me again. While we're on the immigration subject, has anyone seen the movie "A Day Without a Mexican"? Worth seeing.
