I read the following titles (with links to blog posts about said book where there is one):
- 101 Things I Learned in Engineering – John Kuprenas/Matthew Frederick (2013)
- The Blackwater Lightship – Colm Toibin (2005)
- Dangerous Corner – J. B. Priestley (play) (1932) (no post but good)
- Gift from the Sea – Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1955) (post to come)
- Growing Up – Angela Thirkell (1942) (no post)
- Patricia Brent, Spinster – Herbert Jenkins (1918)
- As I Went Out One Midsummer Morning – Laurie Lee (1969) (post to come)
And there were multiple DNF’s as well, for some reason:
- Confessions of an Advertising Man – David Ogilvy (not surprisingly but I was hoping it wasn’t – this was really offensively dated and I couldn’t finish it as it was too annoying for words)
- Lest Innocent Blood be Shed: The Story of the Village of Le Chambon and How Goodness Happened There – Philip Halie (good and important story about a French village who rescues Jewish people during WWII, but waaaaaay too many deep philosophical questions for my not-very-philosophical head when I wasn’t expecting it.)
- And a couple of novels thrown in there…
Total number of books read in May: 7
Total number of pages read: 1104 pages (av.221) (April was 2723 – wow. I don’t know what happened for this month’s puny total. I think I am becoming really good at piddling around doing nothing in particular.)
Fiction/Non-Fiction: 3 F and 2 NF (plus 1x play)
Library books vs. books I owned (and thus removed from the home abode): 3 library books and 4 owned books (including the DNFs), 2 e-books.
