As one who likes to tempt fate, here is a list of some of my upcoming reading for the rest of June and early July. I say “tempt fate” because as I have said before, my reading is guided almost entirely by the butterfly-effect of reading. In other words, I make plans, and the butterflies laugh. That said, here’s what I am looking at:
- Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson (currently reading)
- No Cheering in the Press Box by Jerome Holtzman (currently reading)
- All Those Mornings…At the Post by Shirley Povich
- The Great American Sports Page edited by John Schulian
- The Map of Knowledge: A Thousand Year History of How Classical Ideas Were Lost and Found by Voilel Moller
- One Giant Leap: The Impossible Mission that Flew Us to the Moon by Charles Fishman
- Range: When Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein
- Son of the Wilderness: The Life of John Muir by Linnie Marsh Wolfe
- On Democracy by E. B. White
- Ten Innings at Wrigley by Barry Abrams
- Spying on the South: An Odyssey Across the American Divide
- The Best and the Brightest by David Halberstam
- An Army At Dawn: The War in North Africa (1942-1943) by Rick Atkinson
- The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
What are you looking forward to reading this summer?

I have a large pile of books; some Swedish originals, some in translation, some in English. I get a lot of inspiration from this blog. Leonardo Da Vinci, Steve Jobs (both by Walter Isaacson), Coders, (Clive Thompson).
