GreaT Day Live - American History and 'The Great American Novel'

Your monthly book correspondent returns…

Instead of guessing the weather, we’re guessing your next favorite book!

America’s 250! How else would we celebrate?

By reading, of course.

Every month, Dominic goes out and tells our friends over at Great Day Live what we should be reading. Books come in seasons, much like our reading habits, and so it’s good to listen to the wind and feel our way through our bookshelves. With it being America’s 250th, it was impossible not to talk about ‘The Great American Novel’…store favorites like The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien and Beloved by Toni Morrison absolutely must be in contention (with Beloved being our Fiction Book Club Book Pick later in July!

As we hit America’s 250th, it can feel strange to celebrate a nation so at odds with itself. The choices here help illuminate that feeling, give us words to our worries, and hand us the ideas to move towards revolution in every step we take.
