classical reception summer book club

For the past few months, I've been eagerly anticipating the start of a freer schedule to enable more creative, curious, slow, and wide-ranging reading.

Even though my semester only ended two days ago, I've already been amazed at the way that free, patient reading can do amazing things to my sense of creativity, possibility, and imagination; it's a shame that this feeling isn't always accessible when reading by strict deadlines for professional performance, but I'm delighting in it right now.

I've decided to organize my personal summer reading into thematic clusters and a general timeline, and one cluster that I wanted to share is my Classical Reception Summer Reading list. If you're interested in reading any or all of these books this summer, I'd be delighted to exchange ideas and responses to the reading! Feel free to get in touch at hannahsilverblank@gmail.com, or tweet your thoughts with the hashtag #CRSBC (Classical Reception Summer Book Club), or just enjoy the list on your own!
