I love going to the library. I love smelling books. I love book cover design. Here is what I recently checked out:
Anchored in Love: an intimate portrait of June Carter Cash by John Carter Cash (It can get a little too Jesus-y, but she was a remarkable woman. Now I'm ready for my Appalachian road trip.)
Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell (looooved this book. Like going back to my AP U.S. History class with the fantastic Mr. Thomas, except now I am not an impatient, bratty high schooler and am actually eager to learn.)
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich. (Really difficult to read when you are currently unemployed in the Bush economy.)
The Girls of Huntington House by Blossom Elfman. (No idea what this is about, but I hope it's about boarding schools. I love boarding school memoirs, especially New England ones with ivy-wrapped brick buildings and poet societies.)
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. (Love the Chabon. Wonder Boys was amazing. I'm sure this will be, too.)
Run with the Hunted: A Charles Bukowski Reader, edited by John Martin. (I like Bukowski's simple and direct and oftentimes raw language.)
