Deschooling Society

A new category - reading It’s a simple one: I’ll post whatever I’m currently reading, and maybe what I thought of it once I’ve finished!

Today I started Deschooling Society by Ivan Illich, thanks to a post on openDemocracy. It’s quite heavy going so far, but I think that’s just getting used to a new author/context etc. From all I’ve read about the book from various sources it should be a great read, with many parallels to the free culture community.

It’s quite common for me to be reading more than one book at a time, and right now that’s true. I’m also reading Christian Theology: An Introduction by Alistair McGrath and Code V2 by Lawrence Lessig; these two seem to have taken a back seat lately.
