Lots of fantasy, a lovely book of poetry, a beautifully written nonfiction book.
All this, on July’s list of books :)
July
Love Looks Pretty on You, Lang Leav
(must read. in my imagination, leav is a talented younger sister, who has been through a lot more and writes her advice just for me, in her poems)
Working, Robert Caro
(if you haven’t read the Power Broker, you should
if you haven’t read the Lyndon volumes, you should
this book is Caro’s account of the work, that went into those works.
the ceaseless toil, the thankless years, the people and their stories
Caro is Caro, master of the craft.
There are only a few explicit lessons here.
but plenty if you care enough to read between the lines
plenty if you make this an annual read, like i will)
