Books

Yesterday the Literacy Research Discussion Group had an open discussion of books. Here are the titles people brought along, and succeeded in making some interesting links among:

Writing on the Plaza: mediated literacy practices among scribes and clients in Mexico City. Judy Kalman (Hampton Press, 1997)
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Lisa See. (Penguin, 2006)
Illuminating Disadvantage: profiling the experienes of adults with entry level literacy or numeracy over the lifecourse: research report. John Brynner & Samantha Parsons. National Research and Development Centre for adult literacy and numeracy research report (NRDC, 2008).
Actual Minds, Possible Worlds, Jerome Bruner (Harvard University Press, 1986)
Pies and Prejudice - in search of the North. Stuart Maconie (Ebury Press, 2008)
Les ecrits de septembre 11: New York 2001. Beatrice Frankel (Textual, 2002)
Introducing Bakhtin. Sue Vice. (Manchester University Press. 1997)
Birds without Wings. Louis De Bernieres. (Vintage 2005)
Doce Cuentos Peregrinos. Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Grupo Editorial Norma USA, 1998)
Someday you will no all about me. Anne Robinson, Leslie Crawford, Nigel Hall. Heinemann, USA (1990).

Some of these books may have been published before or since as well in various editions . I'm sorry I haven't always inserted accents where they should be too.
