What say you?

Donna, Collin, Clancy, and a bunch of other academics at colleges and universities across the country are engaging in a Rhetoric Carnival where they all read and blog about Wayne Booth's book, A Rhetoric of Rhetoric. Their discussion is really quite interesting and inspiring.

I'd like to propose a rif on their carnival and propose that we read Clueless in Academe (reviews) by Gerald Graff and/or What the Best College Teachers Do by Ken Bain over the summer and blog our responses. I think these two texts might be interesting for us to read as we begin or extend our teaching careers.

We could even meet once a week/month/whatever for coffee and discuss. Sort of like a blogger's book club. Oh! Here's another idea: we could do a traveling blogger's book club and have coffee at each other's abode. If you're interested in this aspect, I'd even volunteer to host the first one at my apartment and serve coffee or tea to any who care to attend.

Comment and/or offer suggestions please.
