Since the middle of summer has officially passed, I was wondering what everyone has been reading while they were enjoying the beach, the sunshine, vacation, etc. You can also include what you have on your reading list that you'd like to have finished reading by the end of summer, if you'd like.
I'll start with what I've read so far. For those of you that don't already know, most of my summer has been spent revising and re-writing my thesis, so I have not been able to get as much pleasure reading in as I would have liked.
What I'm reading: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
What I've read (and will post reviews of soon!): Rant and Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk, Pillars of the Earth and World Without End by Ken Follett, Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
What I Want to Read: Dune by Frank Herbert, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevski, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell (consisting of: The Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman, Lords of the North, Sword Song), and The Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman.
What are all of you reading? Even if you aren't a contributing author to this blog, I invite you to share your post with us.

I tried to read Catch-22, and much like Cormac McCarthy's, "Blood Meridian," I couldn't get out of the first chapter. I would pass it on, but I think I trashed it. :-(

Hahaha. Thanks for the offer-I had heard that Catch 22 was a great read, but maybe that is because it has attained "classic" status and people feel that you just need to read it.
I think I'll check it out though, just to see. If I end up trashing it via frustration, I'll let you know :)
