Default Summer Reading

Well as we all know summer is here.

Those glorious days basking in the afternoon warmth under the shade of a Horse Chestnut reading a book of your choice.

Anyways.

Whats your summer reading list? Post the book(s) that you are currently reading and when you're done give us all a review! A little taste! Maybe it's good enough for recommendation? Do it!

Somehow I've left fiction and started on non-fiction. Here are the ones I'm going to start on today:

The Black Hole War - Leonard Susskind (Started)
A Breif History of Time - Stephen Hawking
The Universe in a Nutshell - Stephen Hawking
Anti-Matter: The Ultimate Mirror - Gordon Fraser

I can't wait to get started.

Well I'm back into reading I think.

Reading The Killing of Tupac Shakur. Quite interesting, gives insight into his life as well as the shooting itself and the facts surrounding it.

Going to read A Thousand Splendid Suns next me thinks. And then possibly reread Death on the Nile.

I've read the Kite Runner......

There's this line that I always remember from it:

"A man who has no concience, no goodness, does not suffer".

Awesome book mens.
