The New York Times just published its annual summer reading suggestions online here. My personal non-fiction picks, from reading the abstracts, are below:
A CONTINENT FOR THE TAKING: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa. By Howard W. French.
THE CREATION OF THE MEDIA: Political Origins of Modern Communications. By Paul Starr. (Basic Books, $27.50.)
EATS, SHOOTS & LEAVES: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. By Lynne Truss. (Gotham, $17.50.)
ON PARADISE DRIVE: How We Live Now (and Always Have) in the Future Tense. By David Brooks. (Simon & Schuster, $25.)
SOMETHING FROM THE OVEN: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America. By Laura Shapiro. (Viking, $24.95.)
