I’m back to the bus these days (oh the challenges of being green) and I’m learning that I’m not very good at it anymore. With a 2 hour journey each way, it’s going to take a while to get back in shape commuter wise.
To make things a bit easier, I’m asking for help from lovers of terry..what are you reading these days? Reading on the bus always helped the journey be a bit easier. The only criteria is that the books can’t be huge (i.e-at 944 pages, Team of Rivals is too big for my purse).
Looking forward to hearing what’s on your bookshelf these days.

I’m reading “1491: New Revelations Of The Americas Before Columbus”. It’s fascinating anthropology. Beyond that, there’s a lot of podcasts out there…
Dave Bidini’s Tropic of Hockey. I’m trying to understand this hockey thing.
I’m waiting for my copy of Photography After Frank (link) to arrive.
John Updike’s “Of the Farm”. It’s one of those books where you read the sentences twice for the sheer pleasure of their language. And it’s slim/easy to pack
My current reading list: http://bespokeblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/light-summer-reading/
Barack Obama’s ‘Dreams of my Father’. Epic book.
Just about to start, Botany of Desire, A Plant’s-Eye View of the World, Michael Pollan
I am currently reading Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, which is absolutely fantastic but decided it was too heavy to bring to work each day! So I switched it up for the slimmer A Clockwork Orange — although I’m not sure if I would recommend it just yet.. let me read a bit further!
