Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop
by Adam Bradley
    This book offers an insightful look inside the complexities of the world of hip hop.  I have a dream to someday teach a class to my students where they are able to express themselves through rap.  I am intrigued by this book and can't seem to put it down lately.  It is my hope that when I start making steps to follow through on that dream. 

The Short Bus: A Journey Beyond Normalcy by Jonathan Mooney
I absolutely LOVED Jonathan Mooney's book!  It's inspiration, witty, thought-provoking, and just fun to read!  I suggest it to anyone who has ever been told they weren't normal or anyone who questions what normal really means in the first place.  Check out his website at http://www.jonathanmooney.com/
