I will return shortly with my own list.

Whoa, you touched on some political stuff there - guess you are gearing up for the November elections. I also have been reading much on that train of thought, but mostly stuff online, so I don't know if that reading counts; but it did serve to distract me from reading novels this month.Originally Posted by SFG75
I did read the Lawrence short story 'The Christening' in September since we were discussing it in a thread. I like short stories.
