While I don't have a summer reading list, I have been meaning to read a few books:
Timeline- Michael Chrichton
Seabiscuit: An American Legend- Laura Hillenbrand
John Adams- David McCullough
and maybe catch up on some classics: some Dickens (recently bought a copy of Nicholas Nickleby), Herman Melville, Mark Twain, and maybe some Kurt Vonnegut. I might also read a copy of On The Road, by Jack Kerouack.

I read CATCHER IN THE RYE and THE BEAN TREES for summer reading. Then I read DUNE, ATLANTIS FOUND, THE BOURNE SUPREMECY, and LOTR again.

The Sum of all fears, Great Lion of God, the Robe, Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis.
I was given a lot of religious books recently, so I have to read those. But the Sum of all Fears is a nice break

Since I am not in high school anymore I don't have to do summer reading but I do read on my own. I have only finished one book this summer, do to my summer class. I finished The Last Unicorn. I am trying my butt off to finish The Chronicles of Narnia. I finished The Magician's Nephew and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Reading The Horse and His Boy right now.
