20 - The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame, illustrated by Robert Ingpen
Lovely. Animal adventures in rural England, bygone days. Originally began as bedtime stories for his son.
21 - A Coney Island of the Mind - Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Mid-century poetry.
22 - The Valkyries - Paulo Coelho
A story about wanting to meet his guardian angel. I thought of it because there is an early scene where they walk out into the Mojave Desert and get heat stroke, and it's 102 F outside right now and it resonated. So far my apartment is only at 89 F, but I'm getting the afternoon sun through the blinds I couldn't lower (too high to reach). Whole Foods is air-conditioned, only open until 9 pm, but it's an option.
