This summer I had a part time job writing for a neo-conservative PAC and I decided to work from my home in the beautiful and peaceful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In between writing, working outside, visiting with family, and swimming in the Great Lakes I did some reading.

Favorite Book: The Culture of Cities by Lewis Mumford. This book is a brilliant analysis of the growth, virtues, and problems of cities beginning in the Middle Ages.
Least Favorite: The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy. I really don't need to know what college each character attended and every past job they held. This was potentially an interesting plot (the film is phenomenal) but his prose leaves much to be desired.
