Summer Reading 2019

Barack Obama shared his summer reading list (see below), and he’s inspired me to share mine. Here are the books I’ve read so far this summer:

  • Akata Witch, Nnedi Okorafor
  • The Last Firewall, William Hertling
  • Zeus is Undead: This One Has Zombies, Michael G. Munz
  • Superman: Dawnbreaker, Matt de la Pena
  • The Sellout, Paul Beatty
  • The Robots of Dawn, Isaac Asimov
  • The Eyre Affair, Jasper Fforde
  • Stories of Your Life and Others, Ted Chiang

It's August, so I wanted to let you know about a few books I've been reading this summer, in case you're looking for some suggestions. To start, you can't go wrong by reading or re-reading the collected works of Toni Morrison. Beloved, Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, Sula, everything else — they're transcendent, all of them. You’ll be glad you read them. And while I’m at it, here are a few more titles you might want to explore.
