SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Other summer reading possibilities include works of non-fiction.
“The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris” is by historian David McCullough. It tells about how the city of Paris had a huge influence on many nineteenth century American artists and scientists. These include writer James Fenimore Cooper and inventor Samuel Morse.
Erik Larson’s latest book takes place during the first years of Adolf Hitler’s rule in Germany in the nineteen thirties. “In the Garden of Beasts” tells the story of the growing influence of the Nazi party through the eyes of two Americans living in Berlin at the time.
STEVE EMBER: “On China” is by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. In this book he describes his efforts to restart diplomatic ties with China during the presidency of Richard Nixon in the early nineteen seventies. Mr. Kissinger discusses how China’s history has helped shape its foreign policy and its positions toward western countries.
Two popular books are autobiographies, books in which the writer tells about his or her life. “Bossypants” is the work of television actress and writer Tina Fey. It is a funny book that tells about how Ms. Fey became famous for her writing and acting.
STEVE EMBER: Steven Tyler is the lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith. The book he wrote about his long music career is called “Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?” One critic said the book does not make a lot of sense, but it is filled with spirit and energy. It is about his music, marriages, drug problems, and much more.
