So I was communing on a higher plane the other week and stumbled into Oprah... 

I was going through my library looking to see what would make for a good read and stumbled across my William Faulkners.  I haven't read him since college and was thinking he would make for good reading this summer.  Well, Miss Oprah was thinking the same thing.  Today she announced Her summer reading collection as three volumes by Faulkner:

As I Lay Dying

The Sound and The Fury

Light in August

I have the second and third but I'll have to run out and get the first as I haven't read it yet (I know, I'm a bad literature student)  I've never done a book club book with Oprah but I have read maybe 10 or 12 off her list (I just googled the list and checked)  This time, though, I think I will do it with her since we're obviously of one brain for summer reading.

Since it won't come close to taking all summer to read those three, maybe I'll supplement with other southern authors as well .. maybe read The Jew Store again - or To Kill a Mockingbird - or maybe some Fannie Flagg .... hmmm ..... I guess I have a summertime theme :)
