=SUMMER BOOKS = What is a book you recommend this summer?


 * 1) __The Family Fan__g by Kevin Wilson - I loved this book. It is a bit different - about a family of performance artists but more. Rumor has it that it is being made in to a movie starring Nicole Kidman.
 * 2) __The Sisters Brothers__ by Patrick DeWitt - if you liked 'Deadwood' you will like this! Great read.
 * 3) __The Housekeeper and the Professor__ by Yoko Ogawa- Exquisitely written, poignant story, peppered with nuggets of mathematics that you don't have to be a mathematician to appreciate. Or, I should say, if you didn't think of yourself as a mathematician or appreciate the beauty of mathematics before reading this book, you will after.
 * 4) __Downtown Owl__ by Chuck Klosterman- I read this as part of a self-appointed goal to read 52 books last year. I haven't read the rest of his books (yet) but this is supposed to be very different. It follows the lives of various people and how they deal with living in a small town "bell jar."
