Welcome to What’s on My Nightstand
The “What’s on My Nightstand” blog is the result of an Oakton Library Orientation Week program, where faculty, administrators, and staff get together to talk about books they’ve recently read. We’ve been meeting at the beginning of every semester since the Fall of 2008, and each time we meet, some new book lovers join us. For one hour, we have a lively discussion of our favorite books of the past few months. You couldn’t ask for more variety. I’d like to share some of the titles of the books most recently read and discussed at the Fall 2009 program. For books in the Oakton Library collection, I’ve provided the call #. Check out this spot for other interesting “reads” of the Oakton Community.
