when i was growing up, there was always a summer reading list. first, it was for the summer reading program that the public library conducted. then, in high school, it was summer homework. i have always been a reader, the first books i could not stop reading were the nancy drew and babysitters club series. this summer, i conducted a little summer reading project of my own, based on recommendations and ones that i read about in a magazine. the ones i have read so far are:
1. Empire Falls by Richard Russo. This is about life in small town Maine
2.Tales from the Bed- Jenifer Estess- about a woman in New York City that has ALS
3. Love, Greg and Lauren- Greg Manning- an account of Lauren's 9/11 recovery
4. True Believer- Nicholas Sparks- this was one of Sparks' better ones
5. Something Blue- Emily Giffin- recommended by Marilyn- very fun read
6. Trading Up- Candace Bushnell- this is the one i'm currently reading- half.com recommend
the ones that are waiting for thier turn
1. Dispatches from the Edge- Anderson Cooper
2. Big Russ and Me- Tim Russert
3. At First Sight- Nicholas Sparks- the sequel to True Believer
4. Something Borrowed- Emily Giffin- this is actually the one before Something Blue
If anyone wants to make any other recommendations, i'm all ears!
