MORE SUMMER READING

Now that you have finished reading Ulysses, you can get back to summer titles.  Fogelson Library suggests some non-fiction summer titles:

The Summer Game, a collection of stories and articles about baseball by Roger Angell.  The New York Post said, "Angell is the clear-eyed poet laureate of baseball.  His book is like a long, wonderful string of base hits by the home team."   "Quite simple the best book on baseball I've ever read," said George Plimpton in his review of the book.

The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization, by Brian Fagan

The Thousand-Mile Summer by Colin Fletcher about the author's six-month solitary walk along the backbone of California from its border with Mexico to Oregon along the Colorado River, through Death Valley, past Mono Lake and Lake Tahoe and through the Warner Mountains in far northeast California.

And to solve all the questions you will have after your weekend hike, you can refer to the classic  Summer Wildflowers of New Mexico by William C. Martin and Charles R. Hutchins.

Here are some "Summer" movies for the weekend:

How about a little 60's fantasy with Hayley Mills?

Or pretty much the only way you can see Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor in the same place at the same time....with the added fun and gaiety of playwright Tennessee Williams, and co-star Mongomery Clift:


 And last but not least, what do you think of when you hear the name INGMAR BERGMAN?
Comedy, of course!   Fogelson Library is proud to have in its collection Bergman's foray into romantic comedy, Smiles of a Summer Night, described in reviews as "light-hearted," "charming," and "witty". . .who knew?
