summer reading list

[A&A]

Please help me compile one! Thanks! What are your suggestions for good but not-too-complex books? Fiction or non. (It can be a little complex, but not too much. I don't need complete fluff.)

For you, or for your kids? If it's for you, what kinds of genres/subject matter do you like? I love the idea of a summer reading list -- I think I might need to make one as well.

Here are the things I want to read, feel free "to borrow"

• Graveyard by Gaiman
• The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy by Adams
• The Outlander by Gabaldon
• Angels and Demons (actually reading right now, and enjoying it much )
• Stardust by Gaiman
• Paradise by McNaught

For me. I tend to like non-fiction but fiction is ok, too.

Non-fiction? Here are a few on my list

-Three Cups of Tea
-A Homemade Life
-Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
-Evidence Not Seen*
-Fast Food Nation*
-Nickel and Dimed*

*I've read before, definitely good reads if you haven't.

Here's some nonfiction I've enjoyed:

Confederates in the Attic
Salvation on Sand Mountain
The Orchid Thief
The Perfect Scent (this was just OK, but I enjoyed the subject matter -- a look inside the perfume industry)
Devil in the White City
John Adams
The Serpent and the Rainbow
My Family and Other Animals
West with the Night
Galileo's Daughter
Spook

[A&A]

Thanks! I'll have to look up some of those titles. (I have read Nickel and Dimed.......great book.)

For my two cents : In non-fiction I love Isaac's Storm. I also recommend The Glass Castle.
