It's a Hardback Life

Dad is Fat. All the promos for Jim Gaffigan's new show reminded me that I've been meaning to read this.

A Sport and a Pastime. Good for a sultry summer read.

Bonjour Tristesse. Another melodramatic, affair-filled summer read.

Jane Austen's England. I'm going to keep checking this out until I finally get to read it.

A Broom of One's Own. This one sort of caught my eye, as I worked as a house cleaner in college.

My Life in Middlemarch. I love a well-written look at the power of books in our lives, and this one is very well done. I also love Middlemarch but haven't found the time to revisit it.

Crafting the Personal Essay. I really want to spruce up my writing. I didn't have a lot of luck with an ARC from this same writer (the format was so bad, it was practically unreadable), but I thought I would give it a chance.
