[Vision2020] Summer Reading

[Debbie Gray]

Some books I want to read this summer are:

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason by 
Sam Harris (I keep starting and re-starting this but it is so 
reflective of my thinking that it is painfully depressing!)

Baker Towers by Jennifer Haigh

The Human Web: A Bird's-Eye View of World History 
by Robert McNeill & William H. McNeill 

The Language of Baklava : A Memoir by Diana Abu-Jaber 

The book I am reading right now is 'Wicked : The Life and Times 
of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire. I am about 
halfway finished and the first part was kind of slow and didn't 
really grab me but now I am hooked. It's about The Wicked Witch 
of the West (Elphaba) and her sister (Nessarose, she of the 
infamous slippers) and Galinda, the 'good fairy'. Turns out 
Elphaba and Galinda were college roomies and there is much 
unrest in the land of Oz and lots of poverty and suffering 
ignored by the Great and Powerful Oz...

It's been out for quite a few years so maybe some of you've read 
it... but I am way behind on my reading =)
