Foray into Howard Gardner-ville

I've recently come to the conclusion that anyone giving me Barnes & Noble gift cards for Christmas is essentially filling a meth addict's stocking with paint thinner and Sudafed; I'm hopelessly addicted to buying books.  Outside of the malignant connection I just made, some good can actually come of a book addiction.  I recently got a shipment that contained three books by Howard Gardner, including his groudbreaking work, Frames of Mind, which introduced the world to the Seven Intelligences (since expanded to Eight Intelligences).  I've made no secret of my recent infatuation with the works of Gardner, so to be able to get to the source is exciting.  I haven't started any of the books yet, but when I do, I have a feeling I'll be posting here fairly frequently regarding new inspiration I've received.

Stay tuned.
