I seem to have made a poor choice for square 6 as The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream is going to be a slow read for me - requires thought and understanding. So I am switching my book to The Secret Life of Bees.

I read this book recently and was surprised to see it is also shelved under "Drama". I found it laugh-out-loud funny. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm just updating my pick for "poetry" with The Progress of Poetry, I tend not to read poetry at all but this looks like a good introduction to the genre, might take me a while though.
