A friend of mine just asked Facebook friends what they’re reading. Here is my current list if you don’t included the other thousand or so books awaiting my attention…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Loris Malaguzzi and the Reggio Emilia Experience<\/a> (a biography of one of the great educators of the 20th Century)<\/li>\n
  2. The Quincy Jones Legacy Series: Q on Producing<\/a> (a gorgeous book and DVD about the remarkable life and musical wisdom of Quincy Jones)<\/li>\n
  3. Raising a School: Foundations for School Architecture<\/a> (a spectacular book about all aspects of creating productive contexts for learning by a colleague of Seymour Papert, Dr. Rena Upitis)<\/li>\n
  4. David Susskind: A Televised Life<\/a> (a fine autobiography of one of my boyhood heroes)<\/li>\n
  5. Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original<\/a> (perhaps the most comprehensive jazz autobiography ever about one of the most complex musicians who ever lived)<\/li>\n
  6. I Walked With Giants: The Autobiography of Jimmy Heath<\/a> (I have been fortunate to spend some time with this amazing musician over the years.)<\/li>\n
  7. Satiristas: Comedians, Contrarians, Raconteurs & Vulgarians<\/a> (there is much to learn about learning and performance from comedians)<\/li>\n
  8. The Improvising Mind: Cognition and Creativity in the Musical Moment <\/a>(as soon as I can afford it – highly recommended by my friend, the great Brian Lynch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m also revisiting more than a dozen books by the amazing Seymour Sarason<\/a> and Seymour Papert<\/a>‘s three books<\/a> on learning and computing.<\/p>\n
