Extra Credit Book Activities
You can read any of these books or websites and submit an essay convincing me you did indeed read and retained some of the information.

However the Carlos Castenada books advertised on the above URL available at Amazon are not books you can read for ICS 44 extra credit. If you want to discuss why these books are not okay come and see me in my office hour.
Here's a bibliography for ICS 44 that you may choose from. Access the file from this link:

If you find another book that you want to read for extra credit, email me the name and author of the book and if it's okay I will email back an approval. Attach the approval email to the essay you write.
This list will be added to throughout the quarter. If you have suggestions email them to me and I will consider adding to this list:
