RECOMMENDED READING
Selections from The Rittenhouse Review
A combination of jobless-induced free time, light blogging, truly crappy weather, and a desire to quell my anxiety over what appears now to be an inevitable move to a lovely little village in the middle of nowhere, I’ve been able to catch up on some reading.
And so I recommend to you, “without any reservation whatsoever” (a line from my stock letter of recommendation, one that has enabled many underqualified -- and some more than qualified -- applicants to enter the nation’s top business, law, and graduate schools), the following worthy books, all of which I wish I had still more free time about which to expound at length:
Had Enough? by James Carville
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes in the new translation by Edith Grossman [I’m just getting into this one, but so far so great. The translation is terrific.]
Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow
Big Lies by Joe Conason
The Lies of George W. Bush by David Corn
The Two Americas by Stanley B. Greenberg
The Middle Mind by Curtis White
And, what the heck, a few repeat plugs:
The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon
The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisenberger
The Meaning of Everything by Simon Winchester
