Longtime readers of The Summa know something is up with me. Instead of posting 15 times per month, this fall I’ve barely posted at all. In large part this is due to having taken a new position in a different state.
The new position has forced some changes in my teaching. I’ve written several new chapters for my students. These chapters are basically transcriptions of my traditional lectures. But they usually take 8-15 pages, and are much like textbook chapters. Add to this new HW problems and solutions for each one, and most of my writing output has been directed toward students.
The semester is almost over, and I’m making plans for the four week break. I’m going to blog almost every day. In addition, I’m going to read a lot.
- Return on Influence by Mark Schaefer
- Double Entry by Jane Gleeson-White
- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain
- Too Big to Know by David Weinberger
If you have suggestions for additional books to read, please leave them in the comments below.

Suggest John Bogle’s “Battle for the Soul of Capitalism” and “The Clash of Cultures”. Bogle is founder of Vanguard Funds. Mutual funds are enormous users of accounting data, and are damaged greatly by faulty CPA audit opinions. He explains plenty on this and more.

Hope things are going well in your new position. I thoroughly enjoy your blog.
Good to see you back to blogging!
