Dear dear Reader,
Yes. Summer is here. Today I ventured to Powell's and purchased my summer reading list books! I can't wait to begin digging in - here are my books and the order in which I will tackle them. You should read along - we could discuss them through this blog-thingee. Without further ado, drum roll:
i) The new Harper's and McSweeney's
1) Julia Alvarez's How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
2) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
3) The Lazarus Project by Aleksandar Hemon
4) Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson
5) The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano
6) Slouching Towards Bethlehem: Essays by Joan Didion
7) The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich
8) Shakespeare's History Plays
9) Tons of poetry in July!
10) The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages (while in Los Alamos)
11) (finally finish) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
12) (Audiobook in the car with mom driving from Texas to New Mexico in August): The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
Ambitious? Yes. Yay summer!

Dear Gentle Writer:
I must make a correction to your otherwise impeccable summer reading list. Number 12 should be The Art of Racing in the Rain (not Wind). Probably not important except to the dog and to the mom seeking to downland said book. Road Trip!!!!!!!
