A friend from graduate school asked me the other day, "Charlotte, are you a reader?" If you know me (and if you're reading this blog, then you probably do), you can guess my answer to that question.
As I've mentioned, I am rereading To Kill A Mockingbird this spring, and believe it or not, in spite of grad school, I'm almost done! It has been so wonderful reading this for so many different reasons: it makes me laugh. It makes me cry. It makes me think. It challenges me to the core of my being. And it gives me something to look forward to after a long day.
So, in honor of my true love, I've decided that this summer will be a reading summer, in addition to my summer courses.
Here's my list to re-read:
Til We Have Faces, C.S. Lewis
The Power & The Glory, Graham Greene
And one to finish:
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
And new ones to read:
Three Cups of Tea, Greg Mortenson
Ye Old Curiosity Shop, Charles Dickens
An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth, Ghandi
Cymbeline, Shakespeare
The Orchard House , Chekov
I'm planning on camping out on the outside porch of Victor's Coffee in Redmond. If you drive by, look for me! Stop by and chat for a while...but not for too long, after all, I have a lot of reading to do...
