The Bullfighter Checks Her Makeup: My Encounters with Extraordinary People by Susan Orlean. I saw the movie adaptation of The Orchid Thief, but have never read her books. Now I will.
Havanas in Camelot: Personal Essays by William Styron. Sophie's Choice is a gobsmacker of a book. I've never read his nonfiction.
A Hymnal: The Controversial Arts by William F. Buckley. I've been reading, and enjoying, Buckley's fiction and nonfiction since I was in high school. It's rare I find one of his books I don't already own, so I was excited to find this one.

ReplyDeleteI don't know any of your books. I hope you enjoy them all.
Have a wonderful week.
Although I find essay works interesting I rarely read them. Glad you found a Buckley book to add to your collection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at MM.
Happy Reading!
I had no idea Styron wrote nonfiction! Where have I been?!
