JUNE 15, 2010
It’s summer and a chance for a lot of people to catch up on their summer reading.
To borrow from NPR’s “Three Books” theme:
My Three Favorite Travel Writers:
Paul Theroux. Love his book: Riding the Iron Rooster—about his travels through China by rail. Train travel is the best way to see any country.
Anthony Bourdain. Actually, he’s both a food writer and travel writer. Bingo. My two loves.
Lonely Planet. Anything by Lonely Planet. The Travel Book. Travel guides.
My Three Favorite Picture Books:
Griffin and Sabine—By Nick Bantock. Always have loved the series.
Everyone Knows What a Dragon Looks Like—By Mercer Mayer. Loved his artwork ever since I was a little girl. One of my favorites to read to students.
Guess How Much I Love You—By Leann Marie Henry. So sweet. My favorite book to give for baby showers.
My Three Favorite Children’s Books:
The Phantom Tollbooth--By Norton Juster. Fun writing.
Where the Red Fern Grows—By Wilson Rawls. I still get choked up.
??? Will have to think a little while longer.
My Favorite Book to Give/Share:
This I Believe (NPR series)- The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
