School is wrapping up, finals are here, I am crying and sleeping with my books. But all will be well. Soon I will be home and in the city for the summer. As a lit student, summer is the time for me to fall back in love with reading. Being able to choose what books I read is now a luxury given all the reading that I have to do for my courses. Summer is my time to shine.
For this summer I have a few books on my list:
- The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
- Beloved by Toni Morrison
- Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
- Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik
- Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
- Wind, Sand, and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
- The Hungry Ear: Poems of Food and Drink by Kevin Young
It’s a varied, strange list. But I’m very excite to read some non-fiction and memoirs along with literature. It’ll be a good few months.
What are y’all reading for the summer? Anything I should check out?
