The summer months provide a window for the English Department Faculty to read those books that have been sitting on the bookshelf reprimanding us with "Crack my spine, you dolt! What kind of person are you, having not read me?"
We hear you, books.
Brooke Hughes hopes to finally get to Holy Sh*t: A Brief History of Swearing; however, realistically, she'll be reading Mr. Popper's Penguins.
Marit MacArthur plans on reading Ange Mlinko's Shoulder Season, Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle, Book 4, and Elena Ferrante's Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay.
Rebecca Hewett plans on reading The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve, Think Like a Freak by Levitt & Dubner, The Dirty Life by Kristin Kimball, Hay Fever by Angela Miller, and Punching In by Alex Frankel; if she's really feeling deep, she's going to finally tackle The Challenge of Affluence by Avner Offer.
Carol Dell'Amico plans on reading Per Petterson's I Refuse.
Greg Miller plans on reading Tove Jansson's The Woman Who Borrowed Memories, Roberto Calasso's Ardor, and Kamel Daoud's The Meursault Investigation.
Matthew Woodman plans on reading László Krasznahorkai's Seiobo There Below, César Aira's The Musical Brain: And Other Stories, and Kirstin Valdez Quade's Night at the Fiestas.
