update
Here is a mini update. I'm going to be teaching at Gainesville State next year. It's about an hour north of here, but really, I would drive 10 hours a day to be able to teach. Also, I have to decide on a non-fiction book to teach. I've taught War is a Force that Give Us Meaning twice and I'm heading there again. But I'm definitely looking for non-fiction suggestions. What are your favorite non-fiction books. What non-fiction books could you teach/ or have?

hmmm. that's all i'm reading right now. do you have a particular focus/theme?
How about "Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place" by Terry Tempest Williams? Neal Chandler taught it in our nonfiction class. About family, bird habitat and life/death near the Great Salt Lake.
Congrats on the teaching gig!
Hi Amy!!! Thanks for the title, I'll definitely check it out.
KB: There isn't a particular theme. Everyone in the Freshman sequence has to use the reader "Signs of Life in the USA" about culture etc... which I'm not a huge fan of, so I want to pick a good non-fiction book.
i really liked jon krakauer's "into the wild"--your students might really like it because it's about a college student wandering into the woods and never returning. maybe you've read it. or his "into thin air" about mt. everest. p.s. haven't forgotten your poems. sorry.
