Re: Books/ Summer Reading
Last month I read World War Z and it was a really interesting combination of stories. Not at all what I was expecting, and it was a great read.

Re: Books/ Summer Reading
Except for McCarthy and Catcher in the Rye, I need to read all those books too. I'll just write these down :p Catcher in the Rye I just read this year though, and it's absolutely, 100%, my favorite book. As for me, I just bought the first book in A Song of Ice and Fire and will start it tonight. My sister's been reading it for years and after all this hype from the series, I just have to read it.
Something perhaps to add to your list: Ordinary People by Judith Guest.

I've been meaning to read Catch 22 and Crime & Punishment they always slip outta my mind. But I haven't read poetry since like Shel Silverstein came out with something lol I do like Frost though so might give it a go!
