This is my third summer reading the Farragut High School summer book selection. I will be reading the summer book selection for about the next 7 summers (8 including this year). The first year it was Death’s Acre by Dr. Bill Bass, Last Summer it was 2 of Elie Wiesel’s trilogy Dawn, Day and Night. I read the complete trilogy and required my son to read all three.

This year was the 173 plus page Einstein’s Dreams written by Alan Lightman. It is a quick read. It is Lightman’s first work of fiction and is very thought provoking. This will be a book that will maintain a permanent home in my office for those times when I need to contemplate thoughts, wonders and the American Way. LOL.

By far this was the most enjoyable of the three thus far. Elie Weisel was a first hand account of the holocaust and was troublesome. Death’s Acre was the worst thus far. If you want to go back that far in the archives of Brian’s Blog you can read my review of Death’s Acre.
