Welcome to Summertime Reading 2010, Indigo and Linsey's open summer bookclub. This is the online forum for discussion of the books. The schedule will soon be up, but for now here is my list of summer reading. The summer bookclub is flexible and open, so read what you want of my list, of the general list (to be posted soon), and your own list. Read, write, enjoy.
The first books on our list are "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe and ""Notebook of a Return to the Native Land" Aime Cesaire. To be read by May 30.
Thanks,
indigo
