This is my summer reading pile. It's a little ambitious, but I'm banking on being nerdy enough to pull it off. A little history, a little art criticism, a little Capote... something for everyone.
From top to bottom, The Penguin Book of Classical Myths by Jenny March, Seeing Out Loud by Jerry Saltz, Air Guitar by Dave Hickey, The Language of Things: Understanding the World of Desirable Objects by Deyan Sudjic, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life by Jacques Barzun, Addicted to Celebrity; Griffith Review 5, and The History of Beauty by Umberto Eco.
