Summertime Reading
Posted by David Duhr in 
Recently we asked the kind folks who follow us on Twitter what book(s) they’re looking forward to reading this summer. Here are some of the responses.
Deborah: 99 Stories of God, Joy Williams
Heather: This summer, it’ll be Amy Hempel’s Collected Works, Ben Marcus’ The Anchor Book, Confederacy of Dunces, and a few others.
Kathryn: Crazy Rich Asians, by Kevin Kwan. It just sounds hilarious.
Shirley: When Opposites Attack, by Jo Maeder
Robyn: Opportunity, Montana, OF COURSE. Also The Little Friend and Living the Questions: The Wisdom of Progressive Christianity.
Martha: Look Homeward, Angel and The Moviegoer.
Daniel: Rereading Hero With A Thousand Faces this week, and will soon start reading the complete Sherlock Holmes books. And because I will be in Italy soon, I might read Italian Hours by Henry James.
And add your own below! What book or books are you eager to get a jump on this summer?
Life, by Keith Richards
This was Keith’s first book and he won a Norman Mailer Prize for non-fiction. President Clinton presented the award to him.

Pretty good for an old blues rocker.
It’s not litra’chure, but it’s real, and it captures a period that interests me.
You know what I won’t be reading? Red Moon.
I might pick up a Jim Shepard collection. I’ve been meaning to explore his stuff for a while now.
