Hi guys! \u00a0The first summer session here at BU is wrapping up, and some of our Global Fellows<\/a> will be heading off to faraway places very soon. \u00a0You can follow their adventures here<\/a>. \u00a0I’ll be adding more to that link as the blogs come in. \u00a0Be sure to check out Qais’ blurb about his Mark Twain adventure and Sarah’s Scotland reading list.<\/p>\n

One of the fiction MFAs recommended the novel\u00a0Skippy Dies<\/em>, and now I can’t put it down. \u00a0Seriously, just open it up in Googlebooks and try and see if you can stop. \u00a0I went to three different book stores in Cambridge to find it, and none of them had it, but each bookseller nodded knowingly and said it was a great book. \u00a0Kinda weird.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’m posting early because I’ll be out of town tomorrow. Here are literary (and not so literary) links:<\/p>\n

It’s Edith Pearlman’s birthday today! \u00a0I’ve got her collection\u00a0Binocular Vision<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and it’s quite impressive. \u00a0I recommend the story “Day of Awe.”<\/p>\n

Skippy Dies<\/a>.<\/em> \u00a0(No spoilers.)<\/p>\n

This year’s Shakespeare on the Common is Twelfth Night<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

What makes a bestselling novel<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Interesting vocab test<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seven “bogus” grammar errors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David Sedaris<\/a> and his Fitbit.<\/p>\n

George Orwell’s four motives of writing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Someone recommended this documentary<\/a> about chef Kenny Shopsin last weekend.<\/p>\n

Saturday, my sister and I are going to Shopsin’s. \u00a0Check out their crazy menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of food, has anyone read this<\/a> yet? \u00a0It’s getting good reviews.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful weekend, all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
