TBR list for summer

Not sure I'll get that much read. I like to take a book down to the hotel porch, but I end up people watching and writing in my blog notebook. But here's what I've got so far. There would be more but Barnes and Noble doesn't assign anyone to watch Glenn Beck's Fox program and his book recommendations often go to number one over night. For instance, I asked for George Washington Sacred Fire, and it apparently is temporarily out of stock (or print, don't remember); then I asked for F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom, and they didn't have any but had 11 on order (the UAPL has a waiting list of 10). But I was able to find The Overton Window, and Samuel Adams; a life. I like non-fiction, but rarely read a "thriller."

Also on my list to finish is Timothy Keller's The Reason for God, Larry Schweikart's A Patriot's History of the United States, and The Lutherans in North America.  Then I take along some recent JAMAs, which I'm starting to call Ojama due to the editorial slant and butt kissing of the editors, and the Spring and Summer issues of Watercolor and Watercolor Artist.

If your company ignores Christmas--Barnes & Noble




Carolyn Brown
Director of Corporate Communications
Barnes & Noble.com

Dear Ms. Brown,

I'm looking through your on-line holiday catalog (for something to blog about or purchase on my membership card), and I see that you ignore my holiday, Christmas. There are many items for an unspecified holiday, a winter event, a joyous memory, and a seasonal gift, but nothing about Christmas, which millions who receive your catalog celebrate every year. Can you account for this? Why should I support you if you don't support me?

Thank you,
Norma Bruce
