Trees: And Other Poems
Joyce Kilmer
@jonmsweeney The big surprise was finding “Howl” was the third one, right after “Trees,” by Joyce Kilmer, and “Ozymandias,” by Shelly. Shirley had some eclectic taste!

The Imitation of Christ: De Imitatione Christi
Thomas À Kempis
@bethfelkerjones Sometimes it’s as much WHEN you read it as what you read. When I read “The Imitation of Christ” by Thomas a Kempis it was as if it was just the right day for my head to be ready for it, to take it all in. Also way cool, “Take This Bread” by Sara Miles.

Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders
Eric Cantor
@EricRiback In 2010, the GOP triumvirate of Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy published a literary work of self-love called "Young Guns." The dozen years that followed weren't drenched in glory for the three. They're not even that young any more. https://t.co/Xoiu48RnP3

Studs Lonigan
James T. Farrell
@Nerd4Cities, Ray Delahanty, host of the excellent “CityNerd” series on YouTube, name-checked Dos Passos’ fabulous “Manhattan Transfer.” I mention it only because it is one of the best American novels rarely read these days, along with Farrell’s “Studs Lonigan.”

Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love
Oscar Hijuelos
@daveweigel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love is a wonderful book, by a wonderful writer, the late Oscar Hijuelos. The movie was terrible. So bad Oscar couldn’t even talk about it.
