Books Read, Summer 2009

Looking at the stack on my dresser, I just realized how many books I read this summer. Which is amazing considering how much time I spend wrangling the girls and doing laundry. Oh the laundry. With its thousands upon thousands of tiny little socks that want matching.
I enjoyed:

The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon (see June 30 entry below)
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson
Life Among The Savages by Shirley Jackson
Daily Life in the United States, 1920-1940: How Americans Lived Through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression by David E. Kyvig

So yeah, aside from laundry and tiny sock matching, I did pretty well!
I just started my brother in law Bill Loehfelm's new book BLOODROOT which was just released a few weeks ago by Putnam. Congrats Bill! Again!






Now school is in full swing for the girls. I did fine getting Evie off to her first day of Kindergarten without getting too sentimental or frazzled, until a few hours later at home when I realized that I had my dress on inside out. Guess I was a bit distracted after all.
