First-- why summer reading? i find the long winter evenings to be a most congenial time to read.. might not have been 100 years ago, but with electric lighting, winter is fine reading time.
i am currently reading Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, and i have The Songcather about... i swallowed it whole last weekend, its not quite a mystery (but it has mystery elemants,) its not quite a history (but there is plenty of American, and even some Scots history in it)-- its sort of a southern story--except for when its in Morristown NJ! It has music, and geology, and family, and history.. Sharon Mc Crumb (or is Crump? crunch? Sharon Mc Cru...) i have to go back and reread it.. there is much to much to take in a single reading.
i have Salt on order-- and need to read it before the end of June for a bookclub.. and wow, its a think book!
but there will be rainy days..
