Summer Reading Time!

Well, readers. I have abandoned you for too long, and I apologize. School has this way of taking over one's life, and leaving little time for more. There are several big book news items to talk about.

1. Khaled Housseni's newest book, A Thousand Splendid Suns. I picked it up a few days ago, but I have had trouble getting into it, as the start of summer has brought its own set of duties. The first 50 pages have been good. It has yet to catch my attention, and never let go quite like the Kite Runner did. That will be one review to come later.
2. AP English Reading Lists - I have to read a few books for my AP English class, so I think I will have a bit of a 'return to classics' this summer. Vonnegut, Faulkner, and I am rereading All the King's Men (a lovely book).
   
3. Environmentalism Takes Hold - For my AP Environmental Science Class, I have to read a book by Stephen Meyer, called The End of the Wild. It is a quick read, only about 90 pages, and shouldn't be too bad.

I have been busy with all of this, as I just got a HUGE shipment of books in from Amazon (YEAH!!!) and have started working through them all. Happy summer, and read on!
