» As you know, the last few years I've maintained an ongoing collection of Summer Reading Lists through the season. This year my schedule simply won't accommodate that expediture of time.

Check in every Monday to see the latest hotness in the literary world. To get you started, here's their Memorial Day entry. [ 06.01.11 ]
