Summer Reading List

[spartananek]

A friend recently inspired me to write a bit on what I've read this summer. I tried to collect all the books so that I could talk about each one, but I've been moving around a lot this summer and some aren't turning up, so I'm just going to write a few thoughts on those that I remember vividly

Your reading list makes the non-fiction child in me die of hunger.

i read the james frey novel before all the controversy started, and i couldn't put the book down, i thought it was great. i bought the second book after hearing everything on tv anyways. it was just as intense. i didnt care what he made up or not, it made for two incredible books. i heard about him writing a third book, but i thought he decided not too after everything that happened. i look forward to it when it does come out.

"Wordsmith" has come up a lot for me lately. Your use of it shocked me only because prior to my current job, I don't think I'd ever heard it used by people I knew. Now everyone is "wordsmithing this" and 'let's wordsmith that a little" all over the place.

Wordsmithed or no, thanks for the list.

it was an unconscious usage, but I'd say the term at least dates back to Shakespeare being categorized as one.
