The last book that I read for fun was "Reading Lolita in Tehran." It was about how women are treated in Tehran, Iraq and how Azar Nafisi and seven of her students read banned Western literature. Overall, I liked the book and the insight it gave into another culture.
Typically, I do not read many books, expect for classwork. I do read lots of blogs, newspapers, and other things that are available on the internet. The New York Times is sent to my e-mail everyday, so I can stay up to date on all of the current events. I also have Viigo on my Blackberry, which is software that manages blogs, weather, and other odds and ends for any interest. When I find myself having a free moment, I can just grab my cell phone and read about all kinds of latest updates. It makes it very convenient for me to have all of that information at my fingertips. Viigo also has different channels you can subscribe to, for example word of the day, quote of the day, NASA Image, sports, etc.
Hi Nicole!
ReplyDeleteIts good to know more about you. I like the idea of having all the information you need at your fingertips. Indeed, we live in a fast technology era and its good that we're embracing it as it changes. I look forward to working and learning with you in this class.
Hello, Nicole. It seems we have yet another class together... as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing". I enjoyed working with you last semester and I wish you much success in this class and all of your endeavors. See you on the boards.
