Happy Fourth
I am probably the least patriotic person there is (aside from Osama, Rush Limbaugh, and Jesus of course) but I plan on celebrating this holiday correctly - by drinking lots of American beer! Its what our Founding Fathers would have wanted.

Summer Reading List
I’ve been flying through books lately, much to the chagrin of my boyfriend who’s exact words last night were, “If you love your books so much why don’t you marry them?” So mature, that one.
I just finished Sea of Tranquility by Paul Russell and I must say that it has earned a spot on my favorite books shelf. Russell’s tale of the disintegration of the perfect American family over the course of decades is one that I will read and reread time and again.
Currently I am in the middle of three books - Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee, A Year in the World by Frances Mayes (author of Under the Tuscan Sun), and Harvests of Joy by Robert Mondavi. Lee’s book is excellent so far, as is Mayes’s account of five years of almost nonstop world travel (condensed into one year - four seasons - for book purposes). Mondavi’s autobiographical account of how he came to found one of the most successful American vineyards of all time is fairly interesting, if a bit heavy on the technical side of winemaking at times. Burgeoning wine nerd that I am, however, it is interesting to get inside the head of one of the most famous (and most controversial) fathers of the American wine movement.
So that is what I’m reading this summer - how about you?
