It’s Monday 7/7! What Are You Reading?
Book By Book
Today’s Monday post comes to you from the road! This morning we said goodbye to our son (who’s watching the house for us) and finally set out on the trip we’ve been planning for six months! Our ultimate destination is Glacier National Park in Montana and Banff and Yoho National Parks in Canada, but it’ll take us a while to get there. We have lots of fun stops planned along the way and on the way back, including state parks, more national parks, and a few visits with family and friends. Today, we’re driving from Delaware to West Virginia and spending two nights in Coopers Rock State Forest.
I’m looking forward to extra reading time while relaxing!
I’m loving The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy for Big Book Summer. It’s just as good as everyone told me: in-depth characters, completely engrossing, and incredible writing. Family drama? Whew, this is one seriously dysfunctional family! It digs deep into some difficult, dark topics but with a thread of humor and gorgeous writing.
Yes, I’m STILL listening to The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky! I was hoping to finish it before the trip, but I’m up to about 80%. The second half has been more engaging and suspenseful, with one of the brothers falsely accused of murder (and all the evidence against him), but it’s taken another philosophical detour!
My husband and I haven’t chosen our first road trip audio book yet, but as I was typing this on my phone, I got a notification that one of my Libby requests came in, so I guess we’ll start with that one! It’s Walk the Wire by David Baldacci. Neither of us reads much Baldacci normally, but this one is set in Montana! (I collected a bunch of Montana-set thrillers on audio for this trip.) It’s also a Big Book!
My husband is also reading a Big Book. He just started Streets of Laredo by Larry McMurtry, which I recently finished.
What are you and your family reading this week?
