summer reading
July 13, 2008
Marie and I have started this summer “bookclub”. I put that in quotes mainly because we’re the only members and none of this is going to be very official. Probably just Marie and Amara reading books and talking about them on the beach/at the kitchen table/on the couch. Anyways, the booklist so far is:
- Huck Finn (which we are reading right now)
- Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
- In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
We want to read a lot of classics; things we read in highschool but due to crappy teaching, didn’t get much out of at the time. I think we had mentioned adding some Faulkner, Nabokov (probably Crime and Punishment), and probably Anna Karenina (this is probably a stretch since it’s a really huge book…not quite something I would take to the beach) I also wanna read DeLillo’s newest, Falling Man.
So, this brings me to the question: what are YOU reading right now?? I need recommendations and ideas.
