I am always reading something even though I don’t have a lot of time for it.  I try to read a little every night before I go to sleep.  I also read a lot on the toilet, but I didn’t want to call this section “Back of the Toilet.”  Here is a list of the books I have recently read and what I am reading now.  They are all different books so I apologize now for jumping from a Raising Boys themed book to some brain melting junk.  I like to learn stuff, especially if it is obscure.

Alkalize or Die by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody

The title and color alone make this book very attractive.  I had to look all over the place :)   A trainer mentioned this book to me because it may be another key to healty living.  The premise is that the American diet is full of foods that are acid forming however our bodies are meant to live in a more alkaline state.  A high level of acid in our body tissues may contribute to many diseases and body fat and cholesterol are buffers for acid.  This phenomonon increases the amount of fat and cholesterol and makes it difficult to remove.  Its recommendations may be a bit extreme but the science is interesting to say the least.

Raising Boys by Stephen Biddulph

This is the first book I have read in my search to learn more about raising boys.  Why did I choose this book?  Because it was called Raising Boys.  Pretty simple, huh?  It was an excellent read full of a lot of good advice.  The one thing it got me to think about is how important male teachers are for high school students.  It really changed how I approach students that tend to be trouble for most teachers.
