I’m having a holiday at home this week and have had time to ponder my fall reading. Yesterday I picked out three classics that I’d like to read in the next few months. They all have beautiful varying shades of green in their covers and look very nice together – I think it is meant to be. I also plan to read a couple of big name contemporary novels, The Lowland and The Goldfinch. I like spontaneous reading, but I think I do my best reading when I have a plan. Do you have a fall reading plan?

Good choices! I’m planning to read The Little Friend by Donna Tartt, it arrived just yesterday. Do you know the book?

I haven’t read The Little Friend, but I read her first novel, The Secret History and liked it. She is a very engrossing writer.

Sounds a good mix! I go through phases of planned and unplanned, and found I read best when it’s a blend of both. My reading plan for this season is simply to read as much as I can. Summer was so good this year not much reading got done.

I am also planning to read The Lowland. I have enjoyed Lahiri’s other books so much! Another book that is getting good reviews is Elizabeth Gilbert’s new book The Signature of All Things. I plan to read that one also. A reading plan sounds like a great idea, though I don’t have one. My book club choices become my sort of plan, and then I add to that classics that I want to reread or anything else that catches my fancy. Enjoy!

I read “Member of the Wedding” when I was about 22 years old and liked it very much. I wonder how it would hold up for me today, several decades later.
