If you want to travel, all you have to do is move from one place to another. However, if you want to get the most out of your travels, some tools can be very helpful: maps to keep you from getting lost, guidebooks to help you understand local manners and customs, brochures to point you to sites of interest, and maybe a dictionary or phrasebook if you don't speak the local language.
It's the same with books: all you have to do to read them is read them. But the best reading, like the best travel, is done by readers with the right tools at hand.
That's what this blog is for: to put the right tools into readers' hands. I've selected things that I think will be specially helpful to students in my own classes, but perhaps someone else may also stumble onto this blog and find it useful. So, whoever you are, welcome and I wish you many happy journeys!
