I read little bits of everything. My mystery preference is cozy. I enjoy science fiction, but do not have a science background. And I'm a hobbit from wayback before I was old enough to vote.
This memoir narrated by the author is a must for anyone interested in the public school system. Yes Tony Danza is an actor, but he really does try and become a good English teacher at an inner city school in Philadelphia. This would be a good read for any first year or about to become first year teacher. What he goes through and the issues his students deal with are very touching and sad.
