Another book I'm looking forward to reading is Revolting Librarians Redux: Radical Librarians Speak Out. I expect that if it is anything like the predecessor, some pieces will have biting, black humor. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. I also expect it will provide lots of food for thought. It might be ideal as a selection in the Librarian's Book Club.I'm also looking forward to doing some reading outside the field; Reinventing Comics : How Imagination and and Technology Are Revolutionizing an Art Form is high on my list. McCloud's Understanding Comics is one of the 2 best books I've read on that medium. The other being Comics & Sequential Art by Will Eisner. Eisner's Graphic Storytelling is also on my reading list this summer.
