we should decide
I’m cool with both Catch 22 and On the Road…
… but I kinda feel a decision SHOULD be made !

I’m up for anything - I’m just ready to get started. As far as old school goes, I’d love a Kurt Vonnegut book. I’ve never read anything by him. I’ve never read Catch-22 either.

Friday
Yay! It’s Friday - that means a new selection will be forthcoming very soon. Rach - don’t keep us in suspense for too long. The weekend is the perfect time to pick up a new read!

What about What Remains? It’s a non-fiction account of the lives of JFK Jr. and his wife as told by a close friend.
I’d also like to read The Geography of Bliss and Never Let Me Go. I’ve also never read On The Road. I’m sure many of you have, but I’d be up for it!
Also on an unrelated note I am reading Sadia Shepard’s “The Girl From Foreign” right now which comes out in earnest next month and I can’t recommend it enough. It’s this great story about a girl who is half Pakistani, half American and finds out that her grandmother, from India, is really Jewish, part of a rare tribe of Jews that landed outside of Bombay. She goes in search of her family history, and as a documentary filmmaker, she really knows how to sketch out the scenes around her. Sounds convoluded but it is a beautiful read, and great for a late fall, back-to-serious-reading sort of book.
That said, more suggestions for summer reading, merci.
