Here are the parameters for the December reading list (and what is at the top of the reading list):
December is…
- Bill Bryson’s birth month (Bill Bryson’s African Diary)
- Connie Willis’ birth month (Bellweather)
- Rex Stout’s birth month (Fer-de-Lance)
- Mark Kurlansky’s birth month (Basque History of the World)
- when Iowa became a state (Age of Grief)
- when Pennsylvania became a state (Appointment in Samarra)
- when New Jersey became a state (Body is Water)
- when Mississippi became a state (24 Hours)
- when Alabama became a state (Boy’s Life)
- the month the Cold war ended (Last Supper)
- the month of Christmas (Father Christmas Letters)
By the way, I’ll read only Christmas stories during the week of Christmas 12/24 – 12/30…and a Christmas story in between the other reads.
