The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark

I liked this book and really enjoyed reading it, even though I also found it quite strange.  It seems like such an unusual teacher-student relationship between Miss Brodie and her six select students.  It is believable, though, because Miss Jean Brodie is a truly unique and strange woman in every other way as well.  Miss Brodie teaches at an all girls' school in Edinburgh, Scotland.  She adopts six girls as her special interests, and these girls become known as the "Brodie set."  They continue to be influenced by Miss Brodie for their whole lives.  It ends somewhat sadly by a betrayal that ends up with Miss Brodie being fired from her school.  It is a quick read and is worth the time.
