Minor change but want to makes sure your readers actually find the right site. Thanks! Hey Deanne,

Given your interest and involvement in higher ed, you might want to pick up my subsequent book (with co-author Mihnea Moldoveanu) called The Future of the MBA. While it is notionally about MBA education per se, the readers of it in higher ed generally have commented favorably on it relevance to education generally. Cheers. R.

I think one thing that helps is to have the leadership of your department/division be supportive of integrating theory and reading into work time (within reason, of course.) I know that if I walked into the office of any of my colleagues here at U of T and found them reading "How college affects students" by Pascarella and Terenzini, I wouldn't think twice. That said, I also like to read this type of stuff on the subway or even while walking to work. Two reasons: one, I don't like reading fiction on transit because people read over your shoulder (and I might be reading a sexy bit! Somehow seems like an invasion of privacy.) I figure no one's going to be interested in The Journal of College Student Development. Secondly, I know I'll stay awake. Reading in bed is a non-starter for me. I realize that for those of you who do not have the luxury of walking or taking public transit to work, this is not a viable strategy!

I feel like I am behind and lazy! When I crawl into bed at night, I don't feel like reading student affairs texts (a glass of wine and Gourmet Mag is the best I can do)...but I need some motivation... What tips and tricks to people have for fitting reading of work-related literature into their lives? Or are people just such student affairs junkies that they can't get enough of higher ed. materials? Hi folks
