Flood troubles, revenue short falls, downtown development – Gotcha! It’s not Louisville but Indiana that will be our topic of discussion on Friday’s State of the News. We’ll also try and answer the question “Governor Daniels – will he or won’t he?” Call us with your questions or comments.

The Bookseller's summer reading tips on WFPL-89.3's "State of Affairs" today.

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.
