■ Stoner (John Williams)Fiction. Related entry here.
■ Family Happiness (Laurie Colwin)
Fiction. So many people had recommended Colwin. Perhaps I chose the wrong title? Let's just leave it at "Not my cuppa."
■ A Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)
Classic. With the Family-Centered Learning Project book club. I now know that I was robbed in high school: The edition in our English textbook comprised fewer than one hundred pages. That's not an abridgment; it's text murder! Anyway, all of us loved this selection.

Graphic series. News that AMC had developed a series based on Kirkman's story of life after a zombie apocalypse prompted me to seek out the books. Thoroughly entertaining.
■ And the Pursuit of Happiness (Maira Kalman)
Art. Recommendation / related entry here.
■ Summer of My German Soldier (Bette Greene)
Fiction. With the Girls Rule! Book Club. This one is a childhood favorite and rightly deserves a place on this list. I don't know how I left it off.
