What are y'all reading this summer (fiction or non-fiction)? My list so far:
- 'Bad Blood' by John Carreyrou (about Theranos)
- 'Habeas Data' by Cyrus Farivar
- 'Now My Heart is Full' by Laura June
- 'Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions' by Valeria Luiselli
- 'Asymmetry' by Lisa Halliday
I'm also looking at this list from Vulture: http://www.vulture.com/2018/05/books-to-read-this-summer-2018.html
@schlink I'm reading 1Q84 in English. I definitely won't read any more Murakami and I'm not sure I will finish this translation. The translation is verbose and the style is annoying. Maybe it's better in Japanese.
I'm enjoying Elif Batuman's The Idiot, a book with limited dramatic appeal (nothing happens) about Elif's witty Harvard years. It's really just a collection of anecdotes. I'm glad there's room at a major publisher for work like this.
