Friday Finds—May 27, 2011

I think I found one of this week's new books via Any New Books. I'm also sharing some I found some time ago and forgot to tell you about.

I first found out about Bound by Sally Gunning after reading The Rebellion of Jane Clarke by the same author (review). Somebody reviewed The Paris Wife by Paula McClain recently, and I forget who it was. I am sorry! Speak up if it was you because it made me want to read the book. I downloaded it on my Kindle tonight. I just love Hemingway. I had a friend in college who was named after Hadley Hemingway. To round out the American literature theme, I also discovered that Thomas C. Foster of How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines (review) fame has a new book called Twenty-five Books That Shaped America: How White Whales, Green Lights, and Restless Spirits Forged Our National Identity. I'm all over that.
