It feels like it’s still summer. Never mind the nights are getting somewhat cooler. Never mind that we are back in school. Never mind there is a seasonal hurricane ripping its way up the eastern seaboard. Never mind all that. I’m still in summer mode. I started the month off by a good 3.24 run. Yes!
Here are the books planned for the month:

Fiction:

• The Shining by Stephen King – in honor of King’s birth month.
• In the City of Fear by Ward Just – in honor of Just’s birth month.

Nonfiction:

• Thank You and OK!: an American Zen Failure in Japan by David Chadwick – in honor of September being Respect for the Aged month.
• Foreign Correspondence: a Pen Pal’s Journey From Down Under to All Over by Geraldine Brooks – in honor of International Reading Day.
• The Ayatollah Begs to Differ: the Paradox of Modern Iran by Hooman Majd – in memory of the Iran-Iraq War of 1980.

Series continuation:

• Tripwire by Lee Child – to continue the series started in July
• Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov – to continue finish the series started in January.

Early Review:

• My Life on the Line: How the NFL Damn Near Killed Me and Ended Up Saving My Life by Ryan O’Callaghan. If you have been keeping score, I started this last month.

For fun:

• The Miracle on Monhegan Island by Elizabeth Kelly – because of the title.
