Yet another installment of the What We’re Reading series (here’s what we were reading in July) with all sorts of novels, cookbooks, story collections and more. Please chime in if you’ve read any of these books and also let us know what good books you’ve read lately.

Of course, IPRC doesn’t just play a role in fiction, they have a whole host of events and opportunities for Portland artists....Forward

It’s difficult answering the same rigid, prejudicial, and hysterical letter over and over (with my name misspelled), so I will make a few general remarks for the record.

I only remember talking to Ed once. It served no purpose to talk to him anymore. This book wasn’t made for us. It wasn’t made for Steve. We know the truth. Loren was not on the team...Forward
