Plot Twist

I started reading The Dark Sides of Empathy by Fritz Breithaupt earlier this week and while the writing is fine, I couldn’t learn more at this time. I need literary escape for the next five weeks of summer reading. My original stack abandoned, these four books arrived over the last handful of days and we are looking forward to a ten day beach escape in Lompoc, Calif. We are planning to read The Guest List aloud, which Chelsea – fellow reader – sent me as part of our swap. I sent her The Golden Notebook.

How are you doing? We are just about halfway through summer reading. Tangentially, for those involved in ModPo, hard to believe we are just five weeks away from starting our live session!

I’m reporting zero books for week 5, though I hope to catch up while on holiday…
