Summer Reading

May 31, 2017 (152/365)

"Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, nihil deerit." - Cicero, To Varro, Ad Familiares IX, 4

In the 1st century BC, Cicero wrote, "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." Over two thousand years later, even in our high-tech society, these essentials still ring true for me. I don't have any big plans this summer. I'm simply content spending time outside, losing myself in a good book. This year's Pewaukee High School summer reading list is shorter, yet there's something for everyone. What are you reading this summer?

“At last came the golden month-- honey-sweet May, when the birds come back, and the flowers come out, and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year.” - Samuel Scoville Jr., Wild Folk
