How Right You Are, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse
Into each year, some Bertie must be read. (Listened to the audiobook on the way to North Carolina.) 8.5/10
I Am America (and So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert
I am a cliched white person: I love the Colbert Report and thought this book was hilarious. Some chapters are worth reading over and over. 8/10
White Teeth by Zadie Smith
I liked this book, the fragmented relationships and the threads that tie people together were interesting and overall I found it well written. It did have some slower parts. In the world of contemporary novels, it’s a good read, and it’s remarkable when you consider the age and experience of the author. 9/10
Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne
Read with my literature students, for the first time. I enjoyed it, and really enjoyed contemplating the idea of a novel published as a serial and everyone reading it with great interest. Oh, how times have changed… 8/10
