What Steve's reading

The ecstasy of influence: a plagiarism. By Jonathan Lethem (sort of); Harpers, 2007. A long but tremendously engaging read.

Mosque Notes. Leon Wieseltier, The New Republic, 2010. A much shorter albeit sharp reflection on the Cordoba community centre project proposed in NYC.

When Does Holding Teachers Accountable Go Too Far? David Leonhardt, NYT, 2010. A piece on teacher-grading and accountability that has pretty immediate impact for me.

Edit to include For the Love of Culture. Lawrence Lessig, TNR 2010.
