And now the REAL question every politician has at the top of his mind: What is the best book you ever read while walking your dog? 🙂 
 
Ok, maybe it’s just us. Like you, I cheated on the answer. Oh, well. Poetic license.

Bob B.: Thanks, Bob! I think you’ll like Marquez’s book. 
 
John R.: Yep, it sure does. Kids have been graduating from Summerhill for many decades, and they do just fine. Some people have misinterpreted as Neill’s philosophy as a don’t-discipline-the-kids philosophy, but that’s not what he advocates at all. In fact, he wrote a book called Freedom, Not License to clear up that misconception. 
 
Joe F.: Thanks for the Cholera endorsement. I’ll have to read that one sometime. And continuing on the subject of water, you just reminded me of another amazingly wonderful book: Secret Knowledge of Water. I loved it!

I found myself liking Gabriel García Márquez a great deal. As you pointed out, he has a wonderful way of pulling you in with his first sentences. I liked “One Hundred Years of Solitude” a lot, but I personally preferred “Love in the Time of Cholera,” which has another can’t miss opening: “It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.” He goes on to talk about a suicide who “had escaped the torments of memory with the aromatic fumes of gold cyanide.”  
 
 
 
And since others have recommended books on water, I thought I’d throw “Cadillac Desert” by Marc Reisner into the mix. It’s about water rights and dams and rivers in the western United States, which sounds like the yawn of all time, but it turned out to be absolutely fascinating—and fun to read too!

My four children all attended a school that was completely run on Summerhill principles. All are fine & sensibly happy people, creative and successful. It really works!

Fantastic list of books here – this is my favorite post so far. I just added One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez to my reader. 
 
Cheers

Michael C.: Having (mostly) escaped the child-raising duties that most adults have, I hadn’t heard of Coloroso, but my wife, a teacher and mother, loves her work. 
 
John N.: You’re welcome! You’ll love it, though as John B. says, Rose doesn’t shy away from the science and math. 
 
John B.: A study group, eh? Hmmmm. How do you propose we do that? Webinars? Chat? Blog?
