Classics Considered

Retreating (contentedly) into Tanglewood

Posts have been infrequent enough this year; I didn’t expect to be ‘absent’ two months!  Real life has found ways of distracting me from books, but I am anxious to leave my post-Amerika reading rut and morph into summer “heavy” reading.

A review for Twice-Told Tales is forthcoming.  I am going through and reading the stories I skipped before, as well as re-reading a few.  While it hasn’t got me out of the rut, completionism has been very worthwhile.  “The Gentle Boy” and “The Prophetic Pictures” are probably my favorites so far – the plots are novel-worthy.

Summer “heavy” reading is a tradition of mine where I read one large book over the summer.  This year, I may just go for number of books, instead of pages of one book.  I’m taking suggestions for my summer read(s), preferably something from the uber long list – please comment with any ideas of what you’d like to see!
