Summer Plunges, 2011<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve just finished two books I thoroughly enjoyed, Kent Haruf\u2019s Plainsong<\/em> and Tina Fey\u2019s Bossypants<\/em>, for completely different reasons.\u00a0 That\u2019s the divine pleasure of reading, of course.\u00a0 You can plunge into books that tickle, delight or trouble the manifold sides of yourself.\u00a0 I simply know, when I find a good read, that it was stupendous, and it makes me crave more.<\/p>\n

My book pile is enticing me, and now that we have a sunny day, my hammock is calling me, too.\u00a0 This morning I pre-ordered Charlie Joe Jackson\u2019s Guide to Not Reading<\/a><\/em> <\/a>by Tommy Greenwald<\/a> which promises to be my sort of fun, and I expect I\u2019ll want to reread my girlhood favorite, A Girl of the Limberlost<\/a><\/em> by Gene Stratton-Porter, to go with the moth season as I do every year.<\/p>\n

Here are the other books in my current pile:<\/p>\n

Nightspell<\/em> by Leah Cypess<\/a><\/p>\n

Sisters Red<\/em> by Jackson Pearce<\/a><\/p>\n

Sleepwalk With Me<\/em> by Mike Birbiglia<\/a><\/p>\n

Possession<\/em> by Elana Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose Sees Red<\/em> by Cecil Castellucci<\/a><\/p>\n

Middlemarch<\/em> by George Eliot<\/a><\/p>\n

A Kingdom Far and Clear<\/em> by Mark Helprin<\/a> and Chris Van Allsburg<\/a><\/p>\n
