Lindsey Wilson shares community summer reading lists Diversity of authors and subjects characterize Lindsey Wilson community's summer reading lists Although summer officially arrived early in the morning on Tuesday, June 21, the Lindsey Wilson College community has already gotten an early start on summer reading. Some assembled their reading lists to advance in their area of expertise; others selected books based on a current interests; and others compiled a list of titles to enjoy while on vacation. Of course, the much-anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince appeared on at least one list. Freshman adviser Erin Bickers has plenty to read this summer, because, for the first time in almost four years, she's taking a vacation with her family. Among the titles she plans to read include Edward Rutherford's London, a James Michener-style historical novel about "the good old city." "This is the second time I've started London," said Bickers, who is also a Lindsey Wilson alumna. "I first started reading it my sophomore year here at Lindsey Wilson, but I never finished it because I had to do things -- like go to class and participate in extracurricular activities." For Associate Professor of English Carolyn Keefe, this is "the summer of autobiographies and biographies -- real or fictionalized." She's already read Arthur Miller's play After the Fall, Hunter Drohojowska-Philp's Full Bloom about American artist Georgia O'Keeffe and Part III of Kentucky author Wendell Berry's 1969 collection of essays, The Long-Legged House. Books that deal with the legacy of scientist Alfred Kinsey will also influence Keefe's summer reading. Assistant Professor of Education Melissa R. Gibson is immersed in planning a fall class about children's literature, so a big title for her will be Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth installment in J.K. Rowling's children's series. Associate Professor of Communication Greg Phelps admits that his casual reading plans are "somewhat ambitious, and I probably won't finish all of these books, but not for want of trying." Among the books Phelps hopes to read this summer include the nonfiction books Bruce Feiler's Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths and Daniel Yankelovich's The Magic of Dialogue: Transforming Conflict into Cooperation. Current events informed the reading list compiled by Associate Professor of English Tip H. Shanklin. His list includes: Madness Visible: A Memoir of War by The Times of London chief foreign correspondent Janine DiGiovanni; David Rohde's Endgame: The Betrayal and Fall of Srebrenica, Europe's Worst Massacre Since World War II, a chilling account of the 1995 fall of the Bosnian town and subsequent massacre of more than 7,000 Muslims; and Berry's Citizenship Papers. Associate Professor of English Morris A. Grubbs is spending part of his summer studying William Faulkner at a National Endowment for the Humanities-sponsored seminar at the University of South Carolina. So it's little surprise that his reading is heavily titled toward the South. Grubbs' list includes Kentucky poet laureate Sena Jeter Naslund's Four Spirits, a novel set in racially-charged 1963 Birmingham, Ala.; historian Don H. Doyle's Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha; and Doyle's Nations Divided: America, Italy, and the Southern Question, in which Doyle draws parallels between American history and Italian history. Upward Bound Director Rudy Thomas also will be immersed in regional authors this summer. His list include James Lane Allen's The Choir Invisible; poet Madison Julius Cawein's The Republic A Little Book of Homespun Verse; Harriette Simpson Arnow's novel Hunter's Horn; and Caroline Gordon's None Shall Look Back. Assistant Professor of Psychology David Ludden plans to read books that will enhance a trip to China. Two books he plans to read are China, Inc.: How the Rise of the Next Superpower Challenges America and the World by Ted C. Fishman and The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century by New York Times foreign affairs columnist Thomas L. Friedman. "Both books deal with the way the world has become interconnected and interdependent and how the U.S. needs to learn to adapt to changes times or be left behind," Ludden said. Softball coach Tom Opdenbrouw plans to enjoy several light reads, including The Last Juror, the latest novel by John Grisham. "I have a lot of interests so I read what seems interesting," Opdenbrouw said. "I get them from various places, such as best-seller lists, the Internet, the (ESPN) show 'Cold Pizza' and from friends and family. I truly believe in being a lifelong learner, and reading is a big part of that." To read more about the 2005 summer reading lists at Lindsey Wilson, go to: www.lindsey.edu/summerbooks2005.
