Plucked from the in-box. For summer fiction, I'm reading "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, and in the non-fiction realm, "The Coming of the Third Reich" by Richard J. Evans.

For the third year, Randy (Smith) has been invited to share his picks of the summer's best reading with listeners to "State of Affairs," the daily local call-in show on WFPL 89.3 FM, Louisville's NPR News station, on Monday, June 8, 2009.
State of Affairs, produced by Robin Fisher and hosted by Julie Kredens, airs at 1 p.m. now, with a re-broadcast at 8 p.m. If you can't listen on the radio, it is streamed live at wfpl.org, where you can later listen to a podcast of the show.
Randy joins Kelly Estep of Carmichael's Bookstore and Robert Gieszl of the Louisville Free Public Library.
As a preview to you, Randy is picking two non-fiction titles this year, and one novel. In addition, we've each been asked to suggest a "classic" book you can tackle this summer.
Please tune in, and if you're so inclined, call in and join the discussion.
I was able to listen for 10 minutes or so. For what it's worth, I am reading Moby Dick with Roger and Joel. I am also pleased with Peter Matthiessen's epic Shadow Country. In terms of nonfiction, I also bought that Richard J. Evans last fall. I may petition a tandem read, dear Publican.
