Borrowed:
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua
The Education of Hailey Kendrick by Eileen Cook
The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
The Pigman by Paul Zindel

I borrowed Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother because the book, which is about Chinese parenting, was in all the news last month. I want to read The Accidental Billionaires after watching The Social Network, from which the movie was adapted. I'm going to attempt to read The Outsiders and The Pigman as part of my thesis research!

Yes, I finally caved in and bought an eReader! So far I very much like my Kindle. I've been reading on her every night before I fall asleep. I like it a lot. It's not perfect by any means, but for an eReader of this generation it's quite tops. I look forward to spending much more time with her (and to giving her a proper name!).
