I recently read Gang Leader for a day, about the sociologist living with a gang in the Chicago projects. Good book that depicts an existence that most of us can't even fathom.

Also started, but didn't finish, a collection of short stories by China Mieville. I'll probably pick it up again. I just ran out of steam, plus I picked up:

Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. Almost finished it. Good stuff.

Also reading Macbeth for the 10,000th time with my students. Read two other books with some book clubs with the kids in the meantime. 145th Street by Walter Dean Myers and a really bad Orca selection (high interest, low difficulty reads) called Zee's Way. Bad book, but the book club reading it probalby haven't actually read and finished a book in their lives, so I was pretty happy that they engaged with it.
