This Real New Yorker’s Summer Reading List

Summer’s here and the time is right, for…well, sure, dancing in the streets but, also, curling up poolside with a good book.

What is this Real New Yorker reading this summer?  Well, other than re-reading that soon-to-be-classic, Home Front (available at your favorite online booksellers), I’m reading:

Anne Proulx, Close Range: Wyoming Stories (almost finished.  Wow!)
Transatlantic: Colum McCann (loved Let the Great World Spin, so this s/b a winner too)
The Round House: Louise Erdrich (heard such great things about it)
The Yellow Birds: Kevin Powers (ditto)
The Murmuring Deep: Reflections on the Biblical Unconscious, by Avivah Zornberg (What?  You never read any of Zornberg’s books?  She’s at the intersection of religion, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, literature — with a heapin’ helpin’ of her unique “special sauce.”)
The I.L. Peretz Reader (keepin’ it real)

What’s on your list?  Let’s share book reports later this summer…
