ONE’s suggested summer reading list
In July, ONE offered its staff members a bit of reading for the summer. In my mind, I was hoping for something light and fluffy — you know, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” or “Charlie St. Cloud” — but of course, we got something infinitely more useful and educational. We got the choice among:
Being that I totally just finished watching “Invictus” on a flight back to Washington, I chose “Long Walk to Freedom” in a heartbeat. I was surprised by how heartfelt and conversational the book was, and I’m proud to say, I finished it this week.
Now that summer’s over, do you have any suggestions for what we should be reading this fall? Let us know in the comments below. Or if you’ve read any of the books in this list, give us your review!
