Y/yr 2008 Summer Reading List - 6/20/2008 10:03:10 AM

Do Y/you have a summer reading list?

Here's mine:

At least one well-written 'high brow' book (ya, right, like that's gonna happen, LOL).

True crime. Ann Rule is my favorite author in this genre.

Erotica. i already love Anais Nin and might re-read some of her stuff, but i'll find new stuff too.

The odd recommened book from a F/friend that piques my interest.

There's more, but that's my basic list.

Mind You, for me, it has to be a real book -- not a book on tape, an e-book, surfing the 'net, etc. i like the tactile experience of holding the book and turning pages and so on.

i'm gonna be limited to what i can get for free from the library, but they're okay; just a bit shy of anything 'adult content'.

What's on Y/yr list?

Right now my pile of unread books includes:

David Farland's RuneLords book 3-7
Adrienne Martine-Barnes: The Crystal Sword, The Rainbow Sword
Terry Brooks: Wizard at Large
Tracy Hickman: Mystic Quest
Tanith Lee: Saint Fire, A Bed of Earth
C.J.Cherryl: Destroyer
John Bradshaw: Family Secrets
Jude Fisher: The Rose of The World
Leslie Ellen Jones: Metaphors of Celtic Paganism
Silver RavenWolf: Solitary Witch

As you can see, I have a short reading list for the summer, ROFL.

Wikipedia. Lots and Lots of wiki.

The archives at the St. Andrew's University website.

Patrick Rothfuss: 'The Name of The Wind.'

dev.joomla.org
www.AlistApart.com
code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/

a bunch of environmental stuff for a blog I'm managing for a client
a bunch of paradocks stuff for my own

Lots and lots of code documentation.

www.HotChicksWithDoucheBags.com
stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

webmasterforums

FLOSS news

ugh... ZDNet; it's like the tabloids of the IT industry, but yeah.

A CRAPLOAD of blogs on Myspace

and random stuff whenever I head down to Borders. I usually start with the comic racks and work my way up.

...There's more, but y'all probably lost interest already.

anything on the subject of dental health i can get my hands on (though i've already been to the ER and am healing up nicely)
anything on santeria/vodou/afro-latin diaspora religion that the grad library has in the stacks
laurel k hamilton's newest novels
some manga-any manga i haven't actually read any
re-read the kite runner for work
anything BUT wikipedia-i found a soc article literally cut and paste as someone's 'orginal' post, no citation, nothing and the editing job they did on it makes it sound like something i could have written as a high school freshman

My summer reading has eclipsed summers for awhile now. (If only I could be as organized!) I have big plans though, big plans.

I have Dick on the mind (PK that is) and have VALIS and the Three Stigmata of Peter Eldritch to read. Might then go back and read the ones i have read before, I love Dick

I also plan to finish Ain't I a Women and Feminism is for Everybody by bell hooks
Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Marquez
hmm maybe i should turn off the computer.
