Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 So, between a heavy load of grad school and then starting a new job, I’ve done very limited reading over the past year. As in, I’ve only read five novels in the last nine months. Pathetic, I know. And here they ar...

I’ve been putting this off until I at least finished the Ozick novel that I’ve been at for ages, which I did tonight. I’m quite unsatisfied with only having 6 books on this list, but I suppose at least the first two books were pretty massive in size. At any rate, here are my tho...

Well, I’ve basically failed miserably as far as my summer reading goals are concerned, but I’ve decided to do the non-fiction portion of our first annual Stanson Book Review, anyway. These are all books I read this summer, and they’re loosely ordered by how much I’d recomm...
