I always like to pick out five or six books to read over the summer, but since I am already on my third, I was wondering what everyone else was reading?

So far I have read :
The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey
and am well into Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
from here I have Animal Farm by Goerge Orwell lined up as well as Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

How about you?

Currenty finishing up Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. After that, I plan on reading I Robot. I read it when I was in high school, but I want to read it again since I saw the previews of the new movie coming out soon.

I Will Fear No Evil by Robert Heinlein.

Awesome book. Surprised it hasn't been made into a movie!

DMV,

How does it stand up against stranger in a strange land? I read that years ago and thought it was fantastic. Sadly though, I have not read any of his other books.

Just picked it up and haven't started it (and it's a shameless plug)

"Every Time I Talk to Liston" by Brian De Vido.

He's a good friend of mine from HS and this is his first book. He's been a sports writer for a while now and it got a great review from the NY Times.

"The Da Vinci Code" was the last novel I finished. Outstanding. Currently reading "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking.

Heinlein is one of the greats. I liked everything I ever read of his.

Just finished "Scarecrow" by Matt Reilly. It was heavy duty. Makes me want to go and re-read "Ice Station" and "Area 7". If you like action, he's got it. Next I am going to read "The Expectant Father". Got to get ready for the new arrival.

Uncleb,

Heinlein's works are masterful creations. Critics hated this book because he didn't get a chance to rewrite it before it went to pressing. He was ill from something and unable to complete the task like he had for the rest of his works. If you liked Stranger In A Strange Land...you'll like this too!

Don't forget The Cat That Walks Through Walls and Starship Troopers! You can find most of his work at used book stores for pennies on the dollar!

I can't believe more of his works haven't become movies!

Heinlein Rocks,
I have his complete works.
But right now I'm keeping the eading a little lighter. I'm reading a series of short stories, by Spider Robinson. Callahan Chronicals.
Later
