Neverside

Summer Reading

Since I have no internet at my new place yet or any cable TV, I'm looking for some good-great summer reading to keep my mind occupied and off of starvation. II'm going through my pathetic uni library and I've seen they have nothing like John Grisham, Greg Iles, John Sandford, John Peterson, etc. I'm gonna pick up The Da Vinci Code before the movie comes out and try to get that reading done.

What are you all reading this summer if anything and what are your suggestions for others?

That book was nuts. Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk was really good too.

If you haven't read it already, To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book ever. Death Be Not Proud and Fahrenheit 451 are also really great "if you haven't read them already" books.

Angels & Demons (the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, though the plots don't have anything to do with each other, so you can read them out of sequence without a hitch) was okay, but definitely not as good as The Da Vinci Code.

If you like fantasy, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke is awesome.

If you're into cryptography, history, and possibly mathematics, read The Code Book by Simon Singh. It's awesome. It has a few practice ciphers in the back, too.

Have or Read all those except for the one by Mr Singh(Which is my middle name). and death be not proud.

We have similar tastes, except for probably mathmatics, my stance on mathmatics is do good in class and try not to forget what you learned, other than that i dont do any extra cirriculiar(sp) math activities.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Five People You Meet in Heaven. They're both pretty short but they're good.

This summer, I need to finish reading Les Miserables and Life of Pi.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel is definitely unusual but fascinating. I'd recommend Chuck Palahniuk as well.

Michael Crichton, Dan Brown, and Dean Koontz have been my source of reading for the last couple months. Crichton's Prey was my latest, it was pretty good.

Math is my favorite subject, so I guess it seems like less of a chore to me. :)

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was pretty good. I need to read Life of Pi---I keep hearing about it everywhere.
