[Vision2020] Summer Reading

[Tom Hansen]

Three other books that I've been keeping around for quite some time:

"I Never Played the Game"
by Howard Cosell

"The Longest Debate: A Legislative History of the 1964 Civil Rights Act"
by Charles and Barbara Whalen

"Finding My father"
by Rod McKuen (Prose and Poetry)

>>Can't forecast the summer (that's a lot of books from now), but on the 
>>table as I type:
>>
>>Memoirs of Steven Grellet (because like Keely, I yearn to shine at 
>>cocktail parties, and nothing says "sophisticate" like anecdotes about 
>>Quaker ministry in the U.S. anti-slavery movement of the 1840s).
>>
>>*Autobiography of an Economic Hit Man,* which I'm getting to a couple 
>>years after everybody else in the world, but which confirms my gloomiest 
>>ideas about the destiny of the American Empire.
>>
>>A book of nineteenth-century sock patterns--socks are great summer 
>>knitting, because they're small and portable.
>>
>>*Excellent Women,* by Barbara Pym, the 20th-century answer to Jane Austen.
>>
>>*The Elements of Typographic Style," the definitive work on book design in 
>>the history of the universe, and also one of the most informative and 
>>beautifully-produced books ever.  (Fun fact:  the proper name for the 
>>symbol # is the octothorp--so called because it represents eight fields, 
>>thorp being a Middle English word for "field."  It was first used in maps 
>>to designate a village--seven plots of land around a common.)
>>
>>But I'm hoping to borrow Dan's Bigfoot memoir as soon as he's done with 
>>it.
