Below is my list of 10 books that I'm planning to read between now and the end of August, though I reserve the right to change my mind at any time — after all, summer reading shouldn't be too much like school.
• The Imperfectionists, Tom Rachman
• The Thieves of Manhattan, Adam Langer
• The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, Aimee Bender
• The Anthologist, Nicholson Baker
• Last Night in Montreal, Emily St. John Mandel
• Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen
• Persuasion, Jane Austen
• The Woman in White, Wilkie Collins
• The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Stieg Larsson
• The White Tiger, Aravind Adiga

I've gone through three so far this summer: Fool, by Christopher Moore, the New Yorker Food & Drink collection, and Anthony Bourdain's "The Nasty Bits", all on my honeymoon.
ReplyDeleteAlso purchased recently, and therefore on the list: Botany of Desire by Pollan, and Philip Roth's "Indignation".
I'd also finally like to read "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and may (gasp!) succumb to trying out "Twilight" if things get desperate.
Would you recommend the Bourdain? I loved "Kitchen Confidential."

ReplyDeleteThat's high on my to-read list! Let me know what you think.
ReplyDeletePretty impressive list. Adam Langer's 'The Thieves of Manhattan' has got some good reviews at Amazon.
