Summer Reading List
Mnementh:
No seasonal reading list, I just read things as they come to me. En queue right now:
Dreadnought: Britain, Germany, and The Coming of the Great War by Robert K. Massie
If Upon A Winter's Night Traveler... by Italo Calvino
Underworld by Don Delillo
ThePQ4:
My only goal this summer to is re-read the entire Harry Potter series. Before July 21st. ...I should probably get started. It will take me a least a week to muddle my way through the fourth. Ack.
TheFuriousWombat:
My own personal list of books I want to read this summer is as follows:
100 Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Unbearble Lightness of Being- Milan Kundera
The new Harry Potter (obviously)
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay- Michael Chabon
1984- George Orwell
Special Topics in Calamity Physics- Marisha Pessl
The Name of the Rose- Umberto Eco
Thus Spoke Zarathustra- Nietzsche
Yeah, I'd figure I'd go for some light reading this summer. I think I'll be able to get through them all.
Ally:
Oh, I read Special Topics in Calamity Physics last summer. It is pretty good until the end which really disappointed me. Cute read, though.
I have such awesome plansss. I hope I can get through most of these books. I didn't read too much last summer (it was mostly what I consider trashy reading, but if I tell you what I consider trashy reading you'll make fun of me because most people consider it normal reading) but the summer before I read like 30 books. We'll see!
Joseph:
Ally, that's an excellent list, I have to say. I'll chime in with Inlander here, and say that Pride And Prejudice is fantastic. The rest of the list is pretty much all stuff I've found good or been meaning to read myself.
I've yet to sort out a real reading list for myself yet, but I plan on reading a bunch more Alice Munro, John Updike, Nicholson Baker, Tolstoy, and Nabokov.
