August is a long awaited trip homehome. August is the trials and tribulations of hiring. August is a little Avett Brothers, drums and Sean for music. August is getting back to cooking. August is so many different things, including a goal of 84 miles. Don’t ask. Here’s what August is for books:
- The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester (the easiest way to celebrate National Language Month.)
- The Moviegoer by Walker Percy (Marking the anniversary of hurricane Katrina later this month – The Moviegoer takes place in New Orleans.)
- Mutual Friend by Frederick Busch (Celebrating Busch’s birth month.)
- Turbulent Souls by Stephen J. Dubner (Blame it on someone else month. I think I’ll have to wait for the review to explain this one.)
- These Tremendous Mountains by David Freeman Hawke (Celebrating the expedition of Lewis and Clark)
- Wind, Sand & Stars by Antoine Du Saint (August is National Aviation Month)
And for LibraryThing it is: Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey and I really, really should reread the one Early Review book I didn’t get around to reviewing, Honeymoon in Tehran by Azadeh Moaveni.
For fun it’s a bunch of running band vegetable books. Go figure.
