So, ladies, I have fallen behind on my non-law school reading as of last August. It is my goal this summer to begin catching up. I have also missed the erstwhile bookclub begun in New York. And part of Gloria Steinem's 75th birthday celebrations was a list of outrageous things for women to do - including beginning a bluestocking book club.
These forces combined, and thus this summer reading project. The rules, if you would like to participate, shall be:
1) Each person writes a list of books to read, added in their profile page. Books should be added to this list frequently, even if not all the books are actually read.
2) Each person declares which book they are currently reading. Books can be added from others' lists.
3) Weekly or bi-monthly updates shall be written - a synopsis of the book's action (as spoiler-free as possible) with analysis, if time and inclination permit.
4) If two or more people want to read the same book, they shall coordinate to determine the number and author of posts.
Big words and pretension encouraged. (What's a big word for big word?) Strangers (to me) are welcome. Enjoy!

When I have a little money, I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.
My dear law student,
ReplyDeleteI must admit that since starting medical school, I too have fallen behind on my non-school-related reading. And I made a valiant effort to try to catch up last summer. However, that was my last summer off. Ever. This June I begin on the wards, where, no doubt, I will have not a moment to spare for reading. Any such moment that does arise must be spent reading up on my patients or studying for exams. Yet all is not lost! At least not until residency. During my easier rotations, most of which will be in the dead of winter, I shall try to read. Then, I will go on this blog and read what you ladies have read and choose my reading list.
Good luck on your quest!
Oh my! I don't know what wards are, but it sounds like something book-ish (I can imagine Jo and Marmee working at wards), and so that's fine.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some good book suggestions, if nothing else! Good luck this summer - remember, sleep is for the weak.
