The NY Times Book Review Podcast had different staff members listing their summer reading. So now that grading is finished, I thought I would share my summer reading with the reader. On the professional side, I am diving into Brett Frischmann's book on Infrastructure. On the personal side, I am finishing an omnibus collection of Raymond Carver short stories and then turning to Book 2 in George R.R. Martin Game of Thrones series.
Care to share?
I have a new stack of 20th century American authors -- Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead; Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer; and David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Not sure how these came about, except that I recently read Norman Mailer's The Gospel According to the Son and realized I was missing something really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm still meaning to get through Oliver North. But the Fedex box GMU sent me to prepare for July's economics seminar will probably take most of my time until then!
