Books for Summer Readering

Alexander Turcic · 06-10-2003, 08:14 AM

The NYT has a list of their "summer books" (registration required).

My first choice would be "The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break" Do you also have a book for this summer that is either on or off this list?

An Unfinished Life--Robert Dallek
John Adams--David McCullough

Autumn and Autumn The City

David Moody

I really liked Autumn and am now reading the second.

The book I'm currently reading (in hardcover even!) is "The Life of Pi". On my pda I'm reading Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions". After these, who knows? I'm open to suggestions... Thanks for the link.

Forgot to mention, and just remembered: I really want to read Isabelle Allende's new book this summer!

I've got two books in the reading queue: Artemis Fowl and Across the Nightengale Floor.

Oh yes, and East of Eden. The Oprah selection for this month. =/

I can recommend Artemis Fowl, which I think I read last summer. Something like an evil Harry Potter

Very funny and mysterious. I haven't read the sequels yet, "Arctic Incident" and "Eternity Code" so cannot comment to these.

Btw, I just finished reading Order of Phoenix. Now turning to my next summer read, Caroline by Neil Gaiman.

I just finished reading "Across the Nightengale Floor". It was WONDERFUL. It's the first book in a trilogy. You can read about it here . The author Lian Hearn has book 2 coming out on Aug 7.

Good summer stuff!

The sequels to Artemis Fowl are awesome! Especially the third one! It's cool how he outsmarts the fairies even when they're on the same side.

Ahh I was going to ask... I read the first book and liked it already.

Currently I'm reading H.G. Wells - The Invisible Man. I downloaded it from MemoWare, reformated the PalmDoc to HTML, and then turned it into a Plucker Document. I'm on Chapter 5. When I finish with that, I will be reading the first 4 Harry Potter books, that my Wife picked up yesterday at BarnsandNobal. Too bad those aren't in electronic format, I have to wait for my wife to finish the first one till I can start.

Hmmmmmmm . . . didn't know there was a 3rd Artemis Fowl book. I think I'm going to have to get all of them for my DS 10. He'll think Artemis is awesome. I think they're cute books!
