Summer Reading suggestions

Who's reading what?  Recommendations from faculty and staff readers
continue throughout the summer.


Paul Mueth
building service worker

"I've just borrowed 'Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven: Women, Sexuality,
and the Catholic Church' from a friend. So far the insights I've had are
quite surprising. This work is well-researched and though not a light
summer read, might be quite important to even non-ex-Catholics who would
like to know about the threads of anti-eroticism and misogyny in western
civilization."


H. Jeanie Taylor
Associate director, Center for Advanced Study

Taylor's nose currently can be found buried in any one of several books:
"Sula" by Toni Morrison, "Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' First 100
Years" by Sarah L. and Elizabeth A. Delany, "Dreams of a Common Language"
by Adrienne Rich, "New and Selected Poems" by Mary Oliver, "Selected Poems"
by Rita Dove.

Says Taylor: "I tend to keep several books going at once - and all of these
in their respective categories are outstanding. I am not (surprisingly)
reading a mystery at the moment. I almost always have one or two beside my
bed. I plan to start a new Linda Grant mystery tomorrow which concerns
e-mail sabotage. I just bought the new Anne Tyler book - 'Ladder of the
Years' - which I am taking with me on vacation."
