I'm reading The Crimson Petal and the White right now, but when I'm done this is my summer reading list. Anything you would add/subtract? I've been thinking this through for months and I think I'm satisfied aside from the fact that many of these are re-reads. I haven't read them in a decade, though! And mostly for classes, I don't absorb things as well when I'm power reading for school, but I picked books I know I thought "I will read this again under less urgent circumstance!"

I think I can only do 15, the way I (don't)  find time to read.
