Summertime Reading
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.
