Summer reading list

(EDIT: 10.02.11 0144 EDT New books marked as completed.) So, in case any of ya’ll are interested, here’s my summer reading list. I may not get through all of these, and I may add other books that aren’t on this list, but we’ll see. Do ya’ll have any further suggestions? This list is sort of my go to list should I need reading material, so I can lengthen it to last beyond the summer.
