For those of you who are avid readers or just readers in general, what's on your reading list for this summer? Or what are you reading now, or what have you just finished?
I just finished Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (which was nominated for the booker last year I think). It was really good - 6 different stories all nested into each other and overlapping each other, and all about how time is really fluid and cyclical and random. ("What wouldn't I give for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffible? To possess, as it were, an atlas of clouds."). Really well written too.
On my summer reading list is (gasp) Salman Rusdhie's Satanic Verses - yes, I know not very light summer reading! See, I tend to collect these piles of books during the school year when I have no time to read anything for fun and say to myself, ok I'll read this in the summer when I have more time. And since this book is a huge paperweight (or doorstop!) of a book, it's going to take a little time. I'm not sure if that one will be next though.
There are others on my list too but I'll post those a little later. For now, what are you guys reading/planning to read? Any recommendations?
