Dog Days of Summer Reading

Betsy Lightbourn

Prolific Reader, PES Member

July 3 through August 11 are the official dog days of summer. It’s the perfect time to curl up with a book on the beach or in a park. Or read in air-conditioned comfort, if you prefer. This program of book reviews by our members will help you choose your next title. Or get a head start on books Hugh plans to discuss in the fall. (See below.)

Hugh would love to lead discussions on all these titles this fall:

So Many Books! So Little Time!

• All About Love (bell hooks)
• American Dirt (Jeanine Cummins)
• American Ending (Mary Kay Zuravleff, who would join the conversation on Zoom)
• The Big Myth: How American Business Taught Us to Loathe Government and Love the Free Market (Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway)
• Braiding Sweetgrass (Robin Wall Kimmerer)
• Humanly Possible: Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking, Inquiry, and Hope (Sarah Bakewell)
• My Beloved World (Sonia Sotomayor)
• Women Talking (Miriam Toews)

This is a Zoom-only platform. You can join here online at the scheduled time: tiny.cc/pesprograms
