It's that time again.
Time to gather up the hard-copy reading for the holidays, to read in the sun when Kindles and iPads just won't do it.
What's on your list to read over this summer?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
For one I’m finishing off ‘Henrik Ibsen - Hedda Gabler and Other Plays’. I just finished reading the first play ‘The Pillars of the Community’, written in the 19th century and astonishingly similar to The Fountainhead in its theme. A real revelation.
ReplyDeleteAlso Rob Henderson’s autobiography about his challenging childhood and his concept of ‘luxury beliefs’ to describe what’s emanating from the woke left.
Ah, I don't know Mr Henderson.
ReplyDeleteIbsen is one of my top favourites. His plays are always terrifically sharp, and always pointed! Even if most of his plays have now been bowdlerised and watered down in some other form. (Have fun, for instance, comparing 'Jaws' to 'Enemy of the People.')
@PC - I didn't know you were an Ibsen fan. Here's a good intro to Rob.
