Summer Reading

I think I’d like to focus on reading again this summer. It’s something I enjoy, and is much more interesting than TV and the Internet these days.

So, stealing an idea from Mac, give me your ideas for a summer reading list! Comment with your top few books (3-5 titles is ideal) and then I’ll post the start of my list next week, and trundle off to the library to get started.

One more word: I’ll be editing comments just to indicate if I’ve already read something that’s been recommended.

  1. Last summer some bloggers and I did a summer reading challenge, and each time we read a book we posted about it on our blogs which then pinged the home page of the reading club. There’s a whole list of books and reviews on that site: http://www.zulyzu.com/bc/

  2. – Tom Jones by Henry Fielding
    – The Cider House Rules by John Irving
    – Another Roadside Attraction and/or Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins
