By Robert Fulghum
The best part about this book is it makes you think. You don't have to agree with all the author writes to enjoy it, always a good thing to have in a book. I read it when it came out but got more from it at a later reading than before. Another top quality in a book.
A series of essays and observations about life. Much is about social order and how to be a part of life with people that are not exactly like you. I believe I will use a few selections in my classroom for reflection and class discussions.

Banker by Dick Francis
There is so much more to racing than the day of the horse race. There is health care, trades, favors, enormous amounts of money and quite often some shading dealings.
Tim Ekaterin is a young banker, in a family firm that must prove his worth as the road he came by to arrive there involved an alcoholic father and a mother with a gambling obsession that cost the family all that they had. Naturally there are some there that believe he will follow the road of his parents and take the bank with him in the process.
An opportunity arises for a large investment in a top racehorse that will be put to stud. The potential money is astounding by 1982 standards, the year of publication.
Many twist and turns with deceit and intrigue. Highly recommend.
