Latest Lists

Do you have a summer reading list?

If so what's on it? Is it for pleasure or required reading? I'm making my summer reading list right now so I'm kind of curious about other's reading lists.

1. The Complete Adventures of Sherlok Holmes (the Barnes and Noble one), Insomnia, Desperation, Dune series, and perhaps Dean Koontz's Frankenstein.
2. I actually don't have one written out, but since you mentioned it, I think I'd actually like to make one. I definitely plan on rereading a bunch of books I haven't read in ages (years even) among those being Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, Lullaby, and Fight Club, also, I'll probably reread A Series of Unfortunate Events (I never did read the last one) and Harry Potter if I find the time. :D
3. I have certain authors that I read, a lot are mystery and some are romance and a few sci fi. I keep checking sites like fantastic fiction as well as the authors websites and note when their new books are released on a calendar. So I have kind of a happy list of upcoming good reads! I also keep a list of interesting authors and when I have a space in my reading schedule I audition a new book. I am always looking for series because if the first one is good I have 6 or 10 more good ones to look forward to!
4. I am currecntly reading "House of Leaves" by Mark. Z. Danielewski, and "The Time travelers Wife" by Audrey Niffnegger. I am hoping to continue the summer with "Atonement" and to RE-read "Love in the Time of Cholera" The days of required reading are long gone for me, all for pleasure...and would recommend all of them, except "House of Leaves" its good, but a difficult read and a hard book to grasp at some points.
5. Yes, i am in my GCSE year so i will have a twelve week summer. I will be studying English Literature next year so i will be reading some books off the reading list but for fun i will be reading: Lord of the Rings trilogy Birdsong The Girl Who Stopped Swimming Nineteen Minutes - read it before but i will read it again Gossip Girl and It Girl Books A Thousand Splendid Suns Richard Hammond Atonement I am still adding to it
