Irons on the Fire.
This summer is going to be full. Completely, absolutely and utterly full. Not only am I moving to New York, but I will also be attempting to read as many of the Newbery Award winners as I can get done. It is a very good list. The idea came from my friend Jackie and there is a small group of us pursuing this task. We have decided to start with the first winner, The Story of Mankind. There is a new edition available that covers everything that has happened since the book was published. I haven't picked it up yet, but it seems like it would be very interesting.
In addition to this, I have also decided that this will be the the summer of Swann's Way. Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, I will actually finish the first book of In Search of Lost Time. I'm so very excited about it.
But, that's not where the reading for this summer ends. Oh, no. All of that would be too simple. My friend Mike has recently talked me into reading the Dresden Files. I have just finished the first book. They're a quirky little series. Harry Dresden is a funny and interesting main character. I am very interested in what will happen next. Apparently, it was a very short lived tv show. So, perhaps I will have to investigate that a little further.
