I thought I’d do a recap of the year’s worth of books I’ve selected for my little club here. Not everything has to be Harry Potter or Oprah picks (shiver) so why not revisit some of these great selections?
August: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (Harper Perennial)
September: Native Son by Richard Wright (Harper Perennial)
October: Embers by Sandor Marai (Knopf)
November: Whole Grain: The Collected Poems of James A. Emanuel (Lotus)
December: The Force and the Reckoning by James A. Emanuel (Lotus)
January: Ward No. 6 and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov (B&N Classics)
February: Betty Smith: Life of the Author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Valerie Raleigh Yow. (Wolf Pond Press)
March: Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (Dover)
April: US Guys: The True and Twisted Mind of the American Man by Charlie LeDuff (Penguin)
May: Dubliners by James Joyce (Dover)
June: I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (Tor)
July: The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris (Delta)
Starting in September, I’m planning on choosing some more classics—many that might have gone overlooked, as well as more contemporary stuff. You can visit along the side bar to find out more regarding these individual selections, as well as reviews on all these books.
Here’s to next year and happy reading!
