Leslie Shimotakahara (lshimo) I am currently finishing my memoir, THE READING LIST: LITERATURE, LOVE, AND BACK AGAIN, which will be published next fall (Variety Crossing Press).

THE READING LIST tells the story of an exhausted English professor who leaves her job in academia to return home to her parents, and tries to get closer to her retired father (who has his own crisis to deal with), by creating a reading list of important books for the two of them to discuss as a way to get closer to him and uncover the secret of what led him to his crisis.

Parallel to completing my memoir, I am keeping a blog about my writing/reading process and the larger pool of books that have uplifted and inspired me. Please visit my blog at www.the-reading-list.com
