I've read Sarah Dessen's beach-perfect summer high school book  Along for the Ride and I'm re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (#6) right now.  I read the travel memoir  Wild by Cheryl Strayed while traveling (I was on planes, she was on the Pacific Crest Trail, but hey).  But reviews will have to wait... I lag behind in everything but the coming tenure papers, which I work on daily now that the biggest chunk of summer travel is done.  In the meantime, here are some intriguing links. Will there be a new Fraggle Rock movie?  Time will tell... http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2012/06/rango-talent-reunite-for-fraggle-rock-film.html Plus, Reading Rainbow is coming back, er, sort of!  Reading Rainbow is looking to the iPad as a new platform for relaunch. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/06/levar-burton-talks-reading-rainbow-from-tv-to-e-books-and-beyond/ Are American kids spoiled?  If so, why? http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2012/07/02/12
