The Oxford American editors (and interns!) pick favorite summer reads. Of course I was delighted to see Robin Becker's BRAINS on the list.
After I read the entire list I immediately ordered two books.
Here's the challenge:
1. Which books on the Oxford American list had I already read and loved?
2. Which books on the Oxford American list did I order?
First person to get all the answers right wins a copy of Robin Becker's "Intelligent, absurd, hilarious, and irreverent" BRAINS.
