The summer holidays are the perfect time to catch up on some reading.
Here, Dr Purves, Mr Richardson and Mr Lemieux reveal what books they are looking forward to this July and August.

Dr Purves
I am planning on finishing reading The Explorer, and The Girl
Savage, both by Katherine Rundell and both of which I have been reading to my daughter.
I am also hoping to start/finish reading a number of the books I have had the
very best intentions of reading during previous holidays, as well as one new
purchase: Arnhem by Anthony Beevor.
Mr Richardson
As
far as plans go, it’s more an interest in Muriel Spark: I plan to read as may
as I can before September. Mandlebaum Gate and The Abbess of Crewe for sure,
Memento Mori and Ballad of Peckham Rye probably, but definitely Complete
Short Stories, if I can find, or Bang,Bang You’re Dead, which was a collection
of short stories from the 1980s.
Possibly
some Ian Rankin too: I found several on my shelves that I have no recollection
of reading or indeed of ever seeing before.
And something else will crop up. Will browse through
the library at school and see what catches my eye.
Mr Lemieux
Having read J.D. Vance’s Hillybilly Elegy, I now plan to read to
read Arlie Hochschild’s Strangers in Their Own Land to understand a
little more about the political right in America. It is by a sociologist who
quits the liberal enclave of Berkeley to live for five years in the
arch-conservative bayou country of Louisiana…..
