When I go on vacation, I take a stack of books with me. My wife rolls her eyes and shakes her head before pointing out the obvious: I’ve brought a semester’s worth of reading for a week’s worth of vacation. I sheepishly agree—but I bring them anyway. She brings one of those summer paperback beach-reads and goes through it cover-to-cover. I start several of my hardcover tomes and maybe finish one. Maybe.
This year the reading list is a bit more focused than usual since I am using some of the books in my Boston University public finance class this fall. I’ve read a couple of these before, so those will just be a refresher. Others I’ve always wanted to get to and sitting on the beach is as good a time as any.
