Chris Anson is a professor of English and director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program at NC State.
I’m reading two delightful, funny travel books by Bill Bryson:
In a Sunburned Country (New York: Broadway Books, 2000), about Australia, and Notes from a Small Island (New York: Morrow, 1996), about England.
Professional development reading:
Seven or eight scholarly books on genre research, including Swales, Genre Analysis; and Bawarshi, Genre and the Invention of the Writer.
