If you actually could have a whole month vacation to catch up on reading?

[Art1979]

This month's line up:

• Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy
• Geoffrey Chaucer, Troilus and Criseyde
• Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales

To be fair, they're all in one book, but I've got it on extended loan and might as well read it from cover to cover.

Halberstam's book on the Fifties is on my bookshelf to read.

I actually have the rest of my life to read and I am enjoying it very much. I read everything. One week poetry, the next a juicy novel, travel books when we are planning to travel. My husband and I took a trip to Arkansas not long ago and we traveled with "The painted house" playing in our car. It's a great way to share a book. We traveled very close to the setting of the book. I actually was locating the towns mentioned on the map as we drove in the area. It made the story so much more real. The book made the area so much more interesting. I think sharing this book was a favorite part of our trip. My husband still mentions how much he enjoyed it.
