While normally the idea of teaching with a reader makes me physically ill, I can definitely get behind a book that includes an excerpt from Lewis Carroll, an article by Deborah Tannen, and one slightly misguided essay on AIDS and AIDSpeak.

all the things I own I will share with you: Prior: These pills you keep alluding to… Harper: Valium, I take...
Prior: These pills you keep alluding to…
Harper: Valium, I take Valium. Lots of Valium.
Prior: And you’re dancing as fast as you can.
Harper: I’m not addicted. I don’t believe in addiction and I… I never drink and I never take drugs.
Prior: Well, smell you, Nancy Drew.
Harper: Except for Valium.
Prior: Except Valium in wee fistfuls.
Harper: It’s terrible. Mormons are not supposed to be addicted to anything. I’m a Mormon.
Prior: I’m a homosexual.
Harper: Oh. In my church, we don’t believe in homosexuals.
Prior: In my church, we don’t believe in Mormons.
Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.
