Brandywine Books: Field-Tested Books

re: Summer reading.

Includes quote from James Finn Garner, "Summer reading should be, by definition, that which Fall-Winter-Spring reading is not. . . . I set aside Summer to enjoy the things no one is talking about. At my family cottage I have a personal rule to read only books more than 50 years old. In this way, modern novelists and their narcissistic obsessions get the heave-ho . . ."...
