Between classes and recommendations and yard sales, I'm a-swimming in books. What to read first? Or third (I tend to have 3 or more books going at a time)? Here are a few choices:LONE SURVIVOR by Marcus Luttrell, about surviving special ops in Afghanistan, a must-read for research on my novel.
HOMESTEAD by Rosina Lippi, spanking new from Amazon.
SWAMPLANDIA! by Karen Russell, required reading for upcoming summer course.
SELECTED STORIES by Andre Dubus because every word of his is delectable.
UP FROM THE BLUE by Susan Henderson because it's a damn fine story by a damn fine writer.
Already in the thick of KINO by Jurgen Fauth (wondermous reading, especially for anyone who loves German film and/or all things WWII), THE HUNGER GAMES (Suzanne Collins), GOD IS RED (by Vine Deloria, an authoritative text on Native American psirituality and needed for the novel), THE CAR THIEF by Theodore Weesner (the classic coming out in e-reader format), and rereading (also for novel) WAR by Sebastian Junger.
Almost as good as the rhubarb pie I made tonight.
So, what are you reading? What are you ABOUT to read? Peace...
