I’VE READ SOME GOOD BOOKS LATELY

Reading is the most basic and essential form of fieldwork that a writer can do.  For me, sitting down with a book is a pleasure and a necessity.  I read everyday, no exception.  Here are a few of the books that I’ve liked this summer:

YOU KNOW WHEN THE MEN ARE GONE     Siobhan Fallon

THE ORPHAN MASTER’S SON     Adam Johnson

LECHE     R. Zamora Linmark

MEN IN THE MAKING     Bruce Machart

GREETINGS FROM BELOW     David Phillip Mullins

WHAT YOU SEE IN THE DARK     Manuel Munoz

HUSTLE     Jason Skipper

WE THE ANIMALS     Justin Torres

AGE OF MIRACLES     Karen Thompson Walker
