What I’m reading when I’m trapped in a library cubicle…

Something sad and thoughtful for Easter: Interview with Leonardo Boff.

Two disturbing things brought up by La Chola: Photoshopping at the New Republic and Rape on a schoolbus.

Heather Tirado Gilligan’s thirdspace article on race, grad school, legitimacy, and wine and cheese parties. Emailed to me by a friend, this article reminds us of our early days of graduate school, fitting in, and dealing with race and class issues.

Belle Lettre’s discussion on the issue of facebooking with students.

Something that hits too close to home: Top 10 Things NOT To Ask Your Girlfriend While She’s Writing Her Dissertation

Fun Comics: Garfield Minus Garfield and the horribly familiar PhD Comics

The books on my left that I should be reading:

Diversity on the Farm: how traditional crops around the world help to feed us all, and how we should reward the people who grown them. by Charles C. Mann.

When Jesus Came, the Corn Mothers Went Away: Marriage, Sexuality, and Power in New Mexico, 1500-1846. by Ramon A. Gutierrez.

And in the end, all of this distraction was a success because I discovered I can download Mann’s publication online. Yeah!

    Did Bryan make that list from experience…I hope it was over an extended period of time. Is the list still growing?
    There should be a desert island for writers, but then who’d ask the questions?
