Top 10 Tuesday — Supplemental Reading

15 Oct

Happy Tuesday! As you can expect from me, I changed up this week’s TTT topic. I just wasn’t feeling a rehash of books I read in my long ago classes, so I’ve created a list of books I would include as supplemental reading for dusty college classes 😉 . At least that’s how I view them now from a lens that is *ahem* 40+ years old. Please note that I am all for reading the facts, but a little entertainment is always a good addition. I hope you find a book that sparks your imagination.

    What a great topic! How much better would some classes be with these? I was fortunate that I had professors who DID assign fiction to with the “facts” (though I thought I’d never live thru Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy–I still hate sci fi lol)

    I like your twist on the topic. I think historical fiction can be enlightening, and reading it as part of a course where you could discuss the facts that the author “got wrong” could be cool. I hope you have a great weekend.
