Beach reads are officially over. And while you’ve got the entire Fancy Nancy series memorized, your grad school literature prof wouldn’t be so proud. Time to get back to the books that don’t make your brain atrophy.
Get some recommendations at Lit Mob, a new online venture dedicated to book reviews (credibility side note: one of the founders is a former managing director of the Times). Rather than reviewing every best seller in the blogosphere, the site offers a concise list of interesting titles worth an afternoon or two, from Michael Moore’s 2008 election guide to cult faves like Kurt Vonnegut.
And maybe when the kids are done with the latest Maisy, you can get them started on Dante’s Inferno.
