Ahh, summertime reading! Is there anything sweeter than being truly indulgent with your book choices? For students, summer is a time when you can take a little break & read something light & mindless. One summer I read Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls pool-side while on vacation in southern California. Sheer bliss! For those of us who don’t have assigned reading to distract us from our personal to-read pile, the sky’s the limit! What I like to do to coincide my summer reading stack with the season is to read a combination of the following genre of book:
2. The possibly scandalous autobiography/biography.
3. The indulgent paperback.
My to-read stack this summer includes George R.R. Martin’s A Song Of Ice and Fire series & the following novels & memoirs.
Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Just Kids by Patti Smith
Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis
...yeah except Infinite Jest takes about 9000 summers to read. I've had my three strikes on that doorstop, now I just admit that it beat me!
