Summer reading, anyone?

[so_lily_briscoe]

I, in my Donnean daze, am going to go ahead and lay claim to my right to post here, undergrad or no undergrad. Anything to procrastinate

3) The Red and the Black - Stendhal
4) The Dark Queen: A Novel - Susan Carroll
5) Foop! - Chris Genoa
Recs:
1) At Knit's End (fits perfectly in small bags)
2) The Ties That Bound - Barbara Hanawalt
3) Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte

I LOVE Jane Eyre. I've probably read it a good 10 times.

Foop is on my list as well! I just discovered it this evening. :)

YAY!

That's one on my list.

I don't read anything remotely "intellectual" in my free time. I spend enough time in the lab frying my brain.

The books I'm still looking forward to this summer are A Fistful of Charms, Kushiel's Scion (Jacqueline Carey), and Charlaine Harris's new Sookie book.

The ones that I've finished already and recommend heartily are Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher and Broken by Kelley Armstrong.

ooo I love Sookie Stackhouse! Have you read Katie MacAlister? "Fire Me Up" and "You Slay Me" are fantastic.

I'll second Broken. Ms. Armstrong has a non-supernatural thriller coming out called Exit Strategy that I'm really looking forward to, since it has "an ethical hitwoman" was the main character.

If you like Foop! I'd recommend trying Christopher Moore's books, especially The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and Bloodsucking Fiends.
