I just reread The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in preparation for reading  James by Percival Everett.

Also reread The Boys of My Youth by Jo Ann Beard: A funny, moving collection of stories. That woman makes magic with words. The kind of writing that makes me envious.

NONFICTION:

The Wave In The Mind by Ursula Le Guin is a must-read for every author. She’s inspirational, wise, and laugh-out-loud funny.

POETRY:

Great News: Billy Collins has a new poetry collection out: Water, Water
