Summer reading list
I bought eight books for $5 the other day at our work book sale.

I work for a newspaper and we get a lot of books/cds/tv shows/movies for our entertainment department to review, and thus we have a lot of leftover stuff, so every quarter we have a book sale and the money goes to local charity.


These are the books I purchased (a few, I don't think, are even out yet):

1. Palace Council by Stephen L. Carter (a novel)
2. A Time to Fight: Reclaiming a fair and just American by Sen. Jim Webb
3. America: Our Next Chapter by Sen. Chuck Hagel
4. A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the White House by Charles Osgood
5. The Revolution: A Manifesto by Rep. Ron Paul (should be interesting!)
6. Why Freedom Matters (multiple authors)
7. First Person Political by Grant Reeher
8. The New American Story by Bill Bradley

I am a slow reader so these will probably take me into the fall.

What are you reading? :hi:

3. I just started "The Great Derangement" by Matt Taibbi
I'm also going to try and start "Don Quixote". My God, that book is intimidating. But it's one I've always felt I should read.

4. Yeah, I should read more of the classics.
and just haven't. My sister ordered a few like Moby Dick so maybe I will borrow some from her. I never read Moby Dick. I think I should. :)
