Summer Series 2010: Reviewing the Books!

September 4th, 2010 by zen

Every year I make an effort to increase my reading of books during the summer months. Inevitably, I fail at completing whatever overambitious reading list that I compose while somehow finding time to read other books that were never on the list. This year was no exception.

Starting this weekend, I am going to be reviewing all the books I did read from late May to early September. It was an eclectic collection and I hope to complete this series of posts by mid-September. A few reviews that have already appeared in this time period will be re-posted to make the series complete.

Readers are free to offer comments and recommendations about their own favorite summer books or their idiosyncratic reading habits as the series rolls along……

    Good luck, Zen. Promise when I find KABOOM, I’ll let you know! Hope you add Grand Strategies to your reviews and Luttwak’s Byzantine Strateegery—both very good reads.

    Excellent Scott. I shall keep my fingers crossed that a packing box full of tomes in the Shipman Archive conveniently breaks open 🙂
