A Summer 2026 Reading List for America

The other day, Erika Hall asked on Twitter: "If you could assign every American to read one book over the summer, what would it be? " I love these kinds of questions because it puts people into the shoes of teachers, curators, agreement meme librarians, or, for the particularly strident, benevolent dictators. For many people, the question actually being asked is: "What do you want America to be? The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn. Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. & E.B. So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward Baptist. A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. The Fire Next Time, James Baldwin. When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön. The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson. Why Buddhism Is True by Robert Wright. Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History by Kurt Andersen. When I first read this thread, someone gave an answer that I thought was pretty much spot on and now I can’t find it. They didn’t recommend a specific title but instead suggested that everyone read a simple book about kindness. I don’t know what that book would be, but in my imagination, it’s like a book version of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I would totally read that this summer.

In fall, the humidity drops, meaning less sweating and discomfort, even after hours on the bike. Riders can wear appropriate gear, including protective layers, without overheating. If you don't already have Harley-Davidson riding accessories, fall is the perfect time to invest in them. Whether you need a leather jacket, gloves, or a helmet, your nearest Harley dealership is ready to provide what you need to stay comfortable and safe. Few experiences compare to riding through autumn's stunning landscapes. The vibrant fall foliage creates a breathtaking backdrop with every turn of the road. From golden yellows and fiery reds to deep oranges, fall paints the roads with color, making every journey feel like a visual escape. Touring through these vibrant autumn landscapes makes fall the best season for touring on a Harley-Davidson. Some of the most popular scenic routes are especially picturesque in fall. Mountain roads and country highways transform into immersive adventures, where every stretch invites you to take in the splendor of the season.

The project receives funds from the customer and begins to produce results. Let's assume for our project that the team modifies an existing Humvee vehicle to create a mobile air traffic control unit. It now has a tower and communications array inside it. Throughout the entire development process, quality assurance engineers make sure that the prototype meets both the customer's needs and all other regulatory requirements. After production, the PIF tests the prototype and compares it against the requirement the customer and team determined in step 2. We'll assume that our new mobile unit passes muster. The PIF delivers the new prototype to the customer. The customer can deploy the new equipment immediately. Our mobile air traffic control unit boards the next transport out to the remote Army deployment, and soon the soldiers stationed there will have a new tool to use when coordinating air traffic in the field. This process has more in common with commercial business operations than traditional Army operations.
