Good Reads
A little list of books I have stayed up past my bedtime to keep reading.
Poison for Breakfast Hardcover by Lemony Snicket
A super fun little read that takes the author out and about in search of his "killer." Written in the usual Lemony Snicket way
84, Charing Cross Road by Henene Hanff
A charming little book filled with the letters from a twenty-year correspondence between the American writer and author Henene Hanff and Frank Doel, chief buyer of Markes & Co antiquarian booksellers, located in London, England.
The Tender Bar A Memoir by J.R. Moehringer
The story recounts the author’s childhood and early adulthood growing up in Manhasset, New York, where he lived with his single mother in his grandfather’s house. As a boy, eagerly searching for a father figure, Moehringer accompanies his bartender uncle to the local town bar. There he meets a cast of characters—Bob the Cop, Cager, Stinky, Colt, Smelly, Jimbo, Fast Eddy, and Bobo—who take him under their wing and adopt him into their family of sorts. The memoir follows Moehringer into college at Yale University and through unsuccessful romantic relationships as well as the beginning of his career as a journalist.
