Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.
1. Walter Scott is wonderful. I’ve been reading through his works ever since we honeymooned in Scotland and I’ve enjoyed them all immensely.
2. LOTR is a fall read for me usually
3. I read All the Light We Cannot See and because of it I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a result. I would love to discuss it with other people-I vote it in!
4. If you want another parenting memoir set in Europe I recommend Paris to the Moon
5. Summer reads: Emma (key scene of the picnic, lots of outdoor time in general) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (adventure story, wonder of childhood as well as the coming of age-both very summer things), Charlotte’s Web (outdoorsy, climactic scenes at a fair), Delta Wedding (summer setting, focus on a wedding and family tensions when they get together-a very summer thing), Manalive (adventurous, a hopefulness to it, romance), Love Among the Ruins (Summer setting, southern gothic Catholic novel in the tradition of Flannery)
