My friend Kate gives us a few more sug­ges­tions to the read­ing list. Her col­lec­tion is a com­bi­na­tion of clas­sics and british humor, prov­ing that she’s a classy woman.

• Psmith in the City, P. G. Wodehouse
• Mike and Psmith, P. G. Wodehouse
• Winter of our Discontent, John Steinbeck
• Wayward Bus, John Steinbeck
• David Copperfield, Dickens
• Tale of Two Cities, Dickens — This book causes chills for any­one who took hon­ors eng­lish at Upland High School. No mere book report was good enough for this. We had to do a com­pendium of analy­sis, band­ing together in groups of 5 to write 5 – 10 essays each on spe­cific aspects of the novel. For most of us, it was our first all-nighter (aca­d­e­mic all-nighter, any­way). Despite all that toil, I still liked the book. It was one of about 3 assigned books I actu­ally enjoyed in high school.
