Henry James

By tom on July 04, 2009 | 2 comments

Zeke called to ask if I was kidding about reading Henry James-- trying to raise my street cred as a serious reader. I said I was serious, so now I'm trapped into actually reading some. The good news is Zeke's going to read Washington Square along with me, so I'll have someone to talk with about it. Feel free to join us. Or, read some other classic this summer--your brain deserves it!

1) since when does reading classics raise street cred?
2) never feel "trapped" into reading -- you won't enjoy your choice.
3) why washington square and not the golden bowl?

Hey Tom,

When I return from this weekend's Thoreau Annual Gathering in Concord, Mass, I should be ready to dive into Washington Square. When were you planning to begin? Anybody else coming along for the ride?
