BrandonB wrote an in-depth series on commuting, Tales from the Road, which you can relate to even if you don't live in Boston. Make sure to read the Reporter's Notebook and Train Commute Timeline articles for his personal take on being a guinea pig.
Justin and I also submitted a Letter to the Editor of the Boston Globe yesterday in response to the ABCC cracking down on craft brewery licenses. It was really fun to write it together, but it looks like we might not be getting published.
Summer 2011 Reading List:
- High Fidelity by Nick Hornby - recommended by Dan, but I found it pretty disappointing
- How to be Good by Nick Hornby - exact same feelings as above. This is modern lit? I just don't get what is great about it.
- The Plague by Albert Camus - clearly one of Justin's books, a great, quick read
- The Stranger by Albert Camus* - accidentally left this at the Outer Banks. Hope to finish it sometime soon.
- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith - this book blew me away, I can't believe I hadn't read it before. One of those books where you are totally immersed in the characters' world and when it ends, you try to reconcile it with everything around you.
- The Confession by John Grisham - a typical Grisham legal thriller, read in 1 day at the beach
- The Idiot by Fyodor Dostovesky* - currently in progress, 5 pages at a time on the metro, and I'm really enjoying it.
- ??? - hoping to finish the Idiot and squeeze in 1 more book before I go back to school. Any recommendations?
