A Summer Reading Recommendation

Something I perchanced to pick up at Barnes & Nobles today while buying books to use in my classroom next year. Joel Derfner begins his introduction to this collection of his haiku with this statement: "This book happened because of a bad breakup." Now how could anyone resist a collection of campy, and thoughtful, haiku that redeems such a basic human experience? And they are delightful, a few even hilarious, and everyone insightful. Best $13.00 bucks I've spent in a long time. Also, the author has a websight and a blog of his own: http://www.jeolderfner.com. Check the blog out, too -- you'll love the rainbow hotpants!
