I know that I will spending my first week of August out to sea. Such an enjoyable place for enjoying books! I know that August is another chance at music – Miss Rebecca Correia and a little band called 10,000 Maniacs. What else do I know about August? Not much. I know I am taking two books with me:
- Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende. If I want to still “honor” something I could say I’m reading this in honor of August being National Ocean month. Allende’s lead character takes a boat from Chile to America in search of her gold rush crazed lover.
- Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf ~ bringing this for the sake of something else in the bag.
As for anything else I haven’t the slightest idea. I am still trying to read the books within my reach so the whole “read-this-book-to-honor-this-thing” isn’t really happening. I have been enjoying this seat of my pants kind of selection. Other books I hope to get to:
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- While I Was Out by Sue Miller
- The Dive from Clausen’s Pier by Ann Packer
I will have another Early Review book soon but until it actually arrives it’s best not to mention it.
