Want to Read: Robert Sullivan - My American Revolution

After spending the summer in Washington DC, I have a greater interest in the American Revolution. This sounds like a very interesting personal account of travels to Revolutionary historical sites.

Want to Read: P.D. Smith - City: A Guidebook for the Urban Age

History of cities through the centuries; New York Times review compared it to Norman Davies' history of Europe (which reminds me that I really need to finish reading that book - it used to be my regular breakfast read until it was supplanted by newspapers...).

Want to Read: Jeff Speck - Walkable City

Walkability as the critical factor for healthy cities.

Want to Own: Patricia Jennings - Georgia O'Keeffe's Hawaii

Beautiful Hawaii, in beautiful paintings by a favourite artist. What a great discovery!

Want to read: Andrew Solomon - Far from the Tree

Interviews with parents

Want to Read: Witold Rybczynski - The Most Beautiful House in the World

The author's story about building a home. I've read some of his other history and architecture books, which were great. It also sounds like this might be along the lines of Michael Pollan's "A Place of My Own", a favourite book about how architectural design works and feels.

Want to Read: Erin Morgenstern - The Night Circus

I remember reading a great review for this book, although I don't remember any specifics of what kind of novel it is. But I just saw an ad that it's out in paperback and ebook now, which reminds me that I did want to add it to my list.
