Browsing around today, I wrote down two books I would like to read. One is Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. (Postman's theme is the decline of the printed word and the ascendancy of the "tube" with its tendency to present everything- murder, mayhem, politics, weather as entertainment. The ultimate effect, as Postman sees it, is the shriveling of public discourse as TV degrades our conception of what constitutes news, political debate, art, even religious thought). He has written a lot of books about education- another that looks interesting is Teaching as a Subversive Activity which sounds like something X might have written. The other is -- don't laugh-- The World According to Mr. Rogers
