“A
home without books is a body without soul.”
— Cicero
Midsummer has come and gone. Around here the
holiday quite accurately represents the middle point of my son’s
academic summer vacation, for a school system that ends classes right
before Memorial Day and resumes classes the first grueling hot week
in August. So I apologize that my “summer reading” post comes a
bit late in the season. I’ve made
recommendations for summer reading in the past. Rather than look over what books and games I’d
recommend from the past year as appropriate to summertime diversions,
I thought I’d take a look at my piles to be read and to be played,
with a few recent, notable exceptions.
