Suicides, known and unknown, sucked the life out of my psyche and I had a hard time staying afloat myself. I became obsessed with the sinking of the Lusitania and devoured every documentary I could find. Yet, I was unsure of my own mind’s footing; enough so I couldn’t trust me or myself to stand at Monhegan’s cliff edge. A first for me. Upon returning home I found myself amazed to be so relieved at being landlocked once again.
Here are the books I have planned for June:
Fiction:
- Under the Gypsy Moon by Lawrence Thornton
- Key to Rebecca by Ken Follett
- American Pastoral by Philip Roth (AB)
Nonfiction:
- Provence: by Ford Madox Ford
- Another Lousy Day in Paradise by John Gierach ~ June is Fishing Month
Short Stories (June is Short Story Month):
- “Artie Glick in a Family Way” by Joseph Epstein
- “The Executor” by Joseph Epstein
- “Mendocino” by Ann Packer
- “Babies” by Ann Packer
- “The Spoon Children” by Tom Paine
- “Gentleman Markman’s Last Stand” by Tom Paine
Series Continuations:
- Cider with Rosie by Laurie Lee
- Henry James: the Middle Years by Leon Edel
Early Review for LibraryThing (maybe – I haven’t received it yet):
- Upstream by Langdon Cook
