Two books to think about for next year: The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (Amy Chua), and Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches From the Front Lines of the New Girlie Girl Culture (Peggy Orenstein).
I haven't read either, but I think both could yield interesting discussions into our culture as it pertains to the evolution of parenting (is the first a pendulum swing to finally balance out the era of self-esteem parenting), and how we raise girls.
Thoughts?

Raising girls again. Seems like we've read books on raising girls. Why do you think there isn't much out there on raising boys? As we are all past parenting children age, is this relevant? Something on parenting adult children would be great.
