Summer Reading

June is summer in my mind.  Even if my kid's aren't out of school until the end of the month.  Summer means vacation, fun, etc. You have a whole month to read The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg for a book discussion with Amanda in July.  This is a lighter, quicker read than the others we have done.  A summer read. Perfect for lovely June evenings:) In addition, if you can get your hands on it, we'll be discussing it's companion essay "Martin's Letter to Nan" in Berg's Ordinary Life,  a compilation of short stories. (As an aside, you simply must read the title story just because it's fabulous). 

Pull of the Moon is a series of a woman's letters to her husband, and the short story is his response (already, isn't it interesting that what she has to say fills a book, and what he has to say is a few pages?)  It will be fun to talk about the 2 together, but there's plenty to discuss in the book alone.

If you haven't joined the book discussions before because they seem to heavy, this would be a great one to jump in on.
