nancy pearl's reading list

Nancy Pearl spoke on Orcas Island on Wednesday, July 16th. She offered her thoughts on scores of books to engage your mind this coming year. Nancy's approach to enjoying reading is the "Rule of 50" which states "If you still don't like a book after slogging through the first 50 pages, set it aside. If you're more than 50 years old, subtract your age from 100 and only grant it that many pages."

Here is a list of reading Nancy recommended at her talk on Orcas Island this summer. Enjoy!
