Thinking that at least a couple of folks reading this blog may be considering buying me a Christmas present, I thought I'd make it just a little easier by listing out a few books that I'd like to read. These are more or less in order of how much I'm looking forward to reading them:
Thaddeus Russell, A Renegade History of the United States [history]
Tony Horwitz, A Voyage Long and Strange [history]
David Dunaway and Molly Beer, Singing Out [music]
John Raeburn, Ben Shahn's American Scene [art/photography]
Otto Penzler, ed. The Black Lizard Big Book of Black Mask Stories [mystery]
Robert Pinsky, Thousands of Broadways: Dreams and Nightmares of the American Small Town [history]
Ian Almond, Two Faiths, One Banner [history]
Tony Judt, Reappraisals: Reflections on the Forgotten Twentieth Century [history]
Neil Harris, The Chicagoan: A Lost magazine of the Jazz Age [history/media]
If anyone would like to post their "wish-list" in the comments, I still have a whole bunch of Christmas shopping to do myself.
