Catfish are Jumpin'

Within a couple hours, I'll be at Alta Mons mostly for the duration. This event marks my first day of summer so I thought I would share my summer reading list. Feel free to suggest books to add (or remove) although I fear I will be reading from this list until Christmastime. 

The Penelopiad - Margaret Atwood

The Last of the Mohicans - James Fenimore Cooper

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek - Annie Dillard

The Life You Save May Be Your Own - Paul Elie

Cold Mountain - Charles Frazier *

Thirteen Moons - Charles Frazier

A Blue Moon in Poorwater - Cathryn Hankla

Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy

Ulysses - James Joyce

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Barbara Kingsolver

Angels in America - Tony Kushner

The Problem of Pain - C.S. Lewis

A River Runs Through It - Norman MacLean *

Teacher Man - Frank McCourt *

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - Mark Twain

A Time to FIGHT - James Webb

An asterisk denotes a re-read. I've already finished Angels in America (the first part was assigned for class) and I'm two-thirds of the way through my perennial summer opener Cold Mountain. I will probably start Ulysses next as I received it for my 21st birthday in December. This is the summer of epic.
