John Langan has taught reading and writing at Atlantic Cape Community College near Atlantic City， New Jersey， for over twenty years. The author of a popular series of college textbooks on both subjects， he enjoys the challenge of developing materials that teach skills in an especially clear and lively way. Before teaching， he earned advanced degrees in writing at Rutgers University and in Reading at Rowan University. He also spent a year writing fiction that， he says， “is now at the back of a drawer waiting to be discovered and acclaimed posthumously.” While in school， he supported himself by working as a truck drive， a machinist， a battery assembler， a hospital attendant， and an apple packer.
