What is So Rare as a Day in June...
I'm still updating those Summer Reading Suggestions, including one I found amusing... children's books about the great outdoors, in case you can't get the little couch potato out into the open air, I guess.Things to Do This Weekend if You Won't Go Outdoors, Either:
Bid on some rare Steinbeck letters...
Start collecting DNA for the ancestry.com genealogy database...
Browse through 310,000 digitized newspaper pages at the Library of Congress Chronicling America project....
Investigate an interview with Michael Rosen, the new Children's Laureate of England...
Listen to an NPR story about a visit to another famous recluse, J. D. Salinger...

I would add the following to the summer reading suggestions--I've read them all recently and would highly recommend each: "Water for Elephants," "A Thousand Splendid Suns," and "Suite Francaise." Each, in its own way, provides a close look at the human spirit--both the positive and the negative.
Which was your favorite?
