Thirteen books on the shelves of Raehan’s nightstand.
1. Carson McCullers, The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter (In progress) I love the book, and am so sorry, Kimbofo, that I did not finish it in time to join in the book club discussion. I’m still working on it.
2. The Journals of Lewis and Clark
3. Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (An old favorite of mine.)
4. Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (Haven’t read it yet.)
5. Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own (I taught this book as a teaching assistant once. It caught my eye when I was cleaning the garage this Fall.
6. David McCullough, 1776 (This one looks good. It’s on the American Revolution, and I hear he actually has something new to say about it.)
7. Jerome W. Berryman, Godly Play: An Imaginative Approach to Religious Education (Montessori approach to Sunday school. I’m curious.)
8. Jim Wallis, God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It: A New Vision for Faith and Politics in America (Will a Religious Left ever catch fire?)
9. Sunset, Western Garden Book (There’s always hope for me and my thumb.)
10. What to Expect The Toddler Years (I’m sure I read every page of this weathered book when my oldest was toddler. I don’t pick this one up very often now.)
11. Mothers and Motherhood: Readings in American History (I once had the boring idea that I would have a regular feature here discussing the history of motherhood. Turns out very few historians have written about Motherhood, and I don’t want to be a historian here. This is my place to relax.)
12. Louise Fiszer and Jeannette Ferrary, Jewish Holiday Feasts (Because I’m not Jewish and need/want to make latkes and strudel occasionally.)
13. National Museum of the American Indian: Map and Guide (Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.) (Because I was there.)
Diid you learn anything about me? Does it surprise you that these are the books on my nightstand, or are these what you might have expected to find.
Now tell me, after I finish The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, what should I pick up next?
Maybe I’ll start a “From Raehan’s Nightstand” feature, or does my nightstand bore you to tears? Never mind. Don’t answer that.
