We now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

And we apologize profusely for the delay. I'm not going to lie, Malin and I got a little lazy with this, but now we're back (hopefully for good) with our June challenge.

Read a high school classic over which your K-12 education somehow skipped.


We decided we definitely needed to bring the blog back for this challenge several weeks ago during a trip to Idle Times Books (a fantastic used bookstore in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of DC - check it out!), where Malin picked up a copy of A Tree Goes in Brooklyn. I struggled to find something there that I had any interest in reading, and so went home empty-handed to look up suggestions online. I discovered that there were a lot of books that Malin and I were supposed to have read in high school but didn't. I settled on Fahrenheit 451, which turned out to be a very appropriate choice (sad, but appropriate) as Ray Bradbury passed away just a week or so later. 


Fahrenheit 451 is one of those novels that has always been on my internal list of books to read and it actually surprises me that I've never gotten around to it. I'm definitely looking forward to it, as it will also be my introduction to Ray Bradbury (The Illustrated Man has been on my list for a while as well). My plan is to finish it before I leave for a week-long vacation on Wednesday so we'll have to see how that goes!
