Michael Leahey's Summer Reading List
THE HOBBIT
by J.R.R. Tolkien
I started reading THE HOBBIT to my five year
old, got hooked again and am now re-reading
THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY.
It is the greatest book of its kind in the 20th
century.
THE WHITE RHINO HOTEL
by Bartle Bull
This is the first in a series of adventure books set
in Africa and beginning at the end of World War I.
It is a riveting tale set in the last wild place on
earth. Indiana Jones for adults.
A FLAME OF PURE FIRE: JACK DEMPSEY AND THE ROARING '20s
by Roger Kahn
The author of THE
BOYS OF SUMMER, one of the great sports writers of his time,
brings us an up close and intriguing look at this legendary prize
fighter. Part Jew, part American Indian, part Irish --- a man born
from the melting pot.
ECHOES OF A NATIVE LAND: TWO CENTURIES OF A RUSSIAN VILLAGE
by Serge Schmemann
This is the story of the grand estate the author's
family had in Russia, prior to the revolution. It
is a compelling story covering two centuries of a
Russian village.
TREASURE ISLAND
by Robert Louis Stevenson (illustrated by
N.C. Wyeth)
My five year old and I are reading this now. If I need to describe
the plot, you should put on the dunce cap and go stand in the corner
of the classroom for an hour!
