Several years ago, I created a reading list from the letters in “4th OF JULY.” I didn’t try to find books on the same topic — just a completely random list of books. I ran across this list recently and was reminded how much fun I had doing it. So, this week’s column is an encore performance of randomness.
Have a happy, safe Fourth!
