I’m sorry I can’t provide any semi-light reading for your pleasure. I am an English teacher, after all, and we tend to read and teach “pretty heavy stuff” to quote Tim Taylor (ask Evan about that one…see if he remembers). And being an overworked English teacher, I don’t have time for personal reading, so in conclusion, I’ll be looking to you and your readership for my own summer reading ideas. (If you like earthy poetry, I can recommend “Kettle Bottom.” It overlaps with the events and characters in the movie “Matewan” so the two inform each other beautifully.)

If you like southern women and humor, check out Celia Rivenbark’s “We’re Just Like You Only Prettier.” I nearly peed my pants in Barnes and Noble.

And ps–who is that baby holding “Me Talk Pretty One Day”? She doesn’t look familiar at all!

Have you heard of the book “War and Peace”? It’s an exciting page turner for the light-reading set. Actually, I’m reading one you’ll probably enjoy. It’s called “Children Playing Before a Stature of Hercules”. It’s a collection of short stories by famous authors that David Sedaris compiled. Yes, it’s a preposterous title, but overall it’s pretty good.

Well, I think we might have different tastes in books- but since I’m quite the Francophile, I’m currently reading a book called Paris to the Moon. It’s a collection of essays (political, cultural, etc) written by an author who moved his family to Paris in the late 90s. I think it’s hilarious…
