7-8-11: Little Women by L.M.A. Hey, its a classic!
7-3-11: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters by Dr. Meg Meeker
7-1-11: I listened to The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton on the way to and back from the FEMA Higher Education conference early in June. Most of the reading I’ve been doing lately is textbooks and research papers from my master’s degree class. Yes, I have been busy since the last post.
11-30-09: There goes another icy chunk of time. I’m trying hard to remember everything I’ve read in the past three months! I’ll try to work my way backward. I’m re-reading The Wind in the Willows by Grahame. It is one of those books you should pull off the shelf every year or so, and I haven’t done that lately. I’m also (still) invested in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by R. L. Stevenson. I have also been dipping into Narnia again for research, and along with that a couple of companion books to those works. I read a lovely collection of correspondence between Hank Nuwer and Fraser Drew called A Long, Wild Conversation which was exactly that. I listened to some Fyodor Dostoevsky via books on tape during long car rides a few months ago and I’m wondering if that counts. Hell yeah it counts. While I’m at it, I listened to Chesterton’s Man Who Was Thursday in that format, too. I know, I read the book outright somewhere down this list, but the dramatic reading was a thrill, too. I’ll remember more later. Three months is a long time. Its like trying to remember all of your sins after missing confession for a year.
9-06-09: American Babylon by Richard John Neuhaus
7-2-09: The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton
7-1-09: Relentless by Dean Koontz, The Telltale Heart and the Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, Duma Key by Stephen King. Finished the Hobbit by JRRT and that piqued my interest to start back into LOTR again, which I do every 2 or 3 years.
(You see, even though I haven’t been posting for awhile, I *have* been reading. Notice I even threw in some eye candy. I just discovered Koontz via an internet pal.)
3-22-09: The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde
3-15-09: Beware the Ides of March! Today I’m finishing up Youth by Joseph Conrad and starting Micromégas by Voltaire.
3-11-09: The Two Drovers by Sir Walter Scott
3-8-09: Two Friends, Gerard Hopkins translation, by Guy de Maupassant; The Killers by Ernest Hemingway.
3-6-09: The Battle With the Cannon by Victor Hugo.
3-4-09: Just finished Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, and starting Mowgli’s Brothers by Rudyard Kipling. I’m also nibbling away at The Hobbit by Tolkien and The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton.
