Summer mommy-brain reading...for those who have the time

Thanks for the irresistible question about mommy-brainish books. If you haven't read "Operating Instructions" by Anne Lamott, that continues to be one of my favorites. Another wonderful brainy motherhood book is "Fruitful" by Anne Roiphe. "Mother Nature" by Sarah Hrdy is a little ambitious for casual readers but well worth the effort; it is just an amazing book. The original "Mothers Who Think" essays edited by Camile Peri and Kate Moses has wonderful essays. And, in keeping with my vow to keep talking about climate change as an issue all parents need to understand, I strongly recommend "Boiling Point," the new book by Ross Gelbspan. Happy -- or at least enlightened -- reading!
