Just a reminder that MnRead next meets on Sunday June 14, at Como Park, around 4 PM. The picnic area is by Horton and Hamline in St Paul. The book we’re MnReading is Sigurd F. Olson’s The Singing Wilderness. I’m halfway through and can summarize it as a haiku: I’m out on the lake, listening to loons and stuff. Modern life is broke.

I can’t go, it turns out my cousin’s grad party is that day. And I really wanted to do a mnreads picnic! But, I haven’t started the book or anything so it’s probably for the better.
