Summer Reading List

For some reason, albeit the longer days, brighter sun, and illusion of more free time, summer is full of activities, vacations, and usually lots of fun. With my RCEP exam out of the way, I am looking forward to taking this season of the year to plow through some books I've had on my list for awhile. Some are from my former book club, some recommendations from CNN, and some from friends. Such are:

1. Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris (funny!)
2. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris (additionally funny!)
3. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathon Safran Foer
4. Before I Go to Sleep by SJ Watson
5. Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante
6. The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
7. The Supernatural Ways of Royalty by Kris Valloton and Bill Johnson
8. Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet (re-read)
9. Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier (for my new book club!)

In addition to devouring these books, after watching the latest X-Men movie in theaters, I would like to watch the other 3 in the series. And, as always, I'll be climbing my way through the AFI top 100 films. I'm halfway there!
