Ed. Magazine On My Bookshelf: Professor Nancy Hill Posted June 10, 2009 By Marin Jorgensen Nancy Hill has been a visiting associate professor since 2007. She will assume her role as professor of education on July 1, 2009.Currently reading: I currently have about four books in various stages of "partially read." I am most actively trying to finish New England White, a mystery by Stephen Carter.First impressions: That it would be a quick, fast-paced book that would be entertaining. I also thought it would be intriguing because it takes place on the campus of an elite private university in New England ( ... hmm ... ).Noneducation genre of choice: Biographies and autobiographies. I love to hear the stories of people's lives and the events that shaped them.Last great read(s): Inkheart by Cornelia Funke [and] Barack Obama's Dreams from My Father.Book you've read over and over: There are too many books that I want to read to allow for repeats!Favorite spot to curl up with a good book: In our family room, on the couch, sitting in the afternoon sun .Next up: I will revisit the four partially read books to see if one is worthy. I am tempted to skip ahead and read The Third Chapter by our very own Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot!Photo by Tanit Sakakini Ed.
