I Do Still Read Books

Rebecca West has yet to defeat me. I am reading fairly steadily on it, a few minutes every night. I have discovered that I sail through the parts that are contemporary to her, the travelogue in which she is commenting on the places and people that she encounters. And I am really struggling with the history and geopolitics, which are well over my head. Sometimes I have to go to Wikipedia and read about something, and then go back to the book. I wanted to be challenged, and I am challenged. 

I am also reading John T. Edge’s “The Potlikker Papers” for a work project. He is  an overlooked MacArthur Genius candidate and this book is something of a summation of his life’s work in food and culture. Only a few chapters in but really appreciating it. 

And here is a list of things that I recently put on my to-read list, which was already pretty long:

1. Bernard de Voto “1846.” Never read him. Don’t even know if he’s still in print. Interested because of his wife Avis de Voto’s fantastic collection of letters with Julia Child. 

2. Kao Kalia Young “The Song Poet: A Memoir of My Father” 

3. Hope Jahren “Lab Girl” 

4. Some definitive Cy Twombly coffee table book 

4. Hisham Mater “The Return” 

5. Geoffrey Wolff “A Day at the Beach” 

6. Peadar O’ Guilin “The Call” 

7. Louise Penny. The first of the Three Pines series. 

8. Colm Toibin “The Master” 

9. James Billington “The Icon and the Axe” 

10. Sujatha Gidla “Ants Among the Elephants” 

11. Peter Manseau “The Apparitionists” 

12. Justin Spring “The Gourmand’s Way” 

13. Dava Sobel “Galileo’s Daughter” 

14. Patrick Rothfuss “Name of the Wind”
