Books In The Queue

For the past four years I have taken a winter seminar where we read classic novels. “Middlemarch”, “Phineas Finn”, “Buddenbrooks”, “Crime and Punishment”, and currently, Honoré de Balzac’s “Lost Illusions.” When done, I have a few new books in the queue: Bernard Schlink, author of the brilliant “The Reader”, has a new novel, “Ganddaughter”. Anne Tyler’s “Three Days in June” will be released on February 11. Aerin Lauder’s “Living With Flowers”, out February 25, will most certainly be gorgeous. And, the thriller “Vantage Point” by Sara Sligar for my next flight to Paris.

Happy reading!

  • I loved Balzac’s novel, and it feels current even today. It was recently made into a great French movie with Cecile de France.
