Summer Reading
It’s the dog days of summer here in Washington, DC. Time to kick back with a good book in an air conditioned room. Some friends have asked me to suggest a few books that would be good for summer reading. Here they are: I just love Anne Lamott. She came on the program a short while ago and had me laughing the whole time. Her latest book is Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith . I think you’ll enjoy it. Another fun book is Gregory Levey, Shut Up I’m Talking: And Other Diplomacy Lessons I Learned in the Israeli Government. He’s a charming young man with a talent for getting into hilarious situations. The book is also an opportunity for some comic relief in a very tragic situation. For those that prefer a bit of escapism through fiction, I recommend Antonio Skarmeta, The Dancer and the Thief: A Novel. From the author that brought us “The Postman” that became the academy award winning Italian film “Il Postino,” his latest is an enjoyable and quick read. I’ll be out of the country on vacation for the next three weeks. I hope you’ll enjoy the show archives I’ve selected for you. When I come back, I’ll catch up with you on this blog. In the meantime, send me any comments you may have. Ciao!
