I was walking through Georgetown (M Street) this afternoon after eating an excellent lunch at Harmony Cafe. Since I’m poor, I swore to myself that I would NOT buy anything while walking the streets… but I caved after I found this book:
The New Kings of Non-Fiction - edited by Ira Glass
I’m really excited about reading it, mostly because I like Ira Glass, Chuck Klosterman and Malcolm Gladwell (even though The Tipping Point got kinda boring after a few chapters).
At the moment, here’s my current summer/all the time reading list (based on books I already own):
1. The Best American Travel Writing - ed. Susan Orlean
2. Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas - Chuck Klosterman
3. The New Kings of Nonfiction - ed. Ira Glass
4. 100 Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
5. Mirror Mirror - Gregory Maguire
+ all of the free books I’ll get from my summer seminar on poverty and prosperity in July.
Now that I’m a real adult, I’ll have time to read without school getting in the way. THANK GOD.
