I just finished reading Continental Op a collection of connected detective stories by Dashiell Hammett (author of The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon).
My pile of unread books for summer reading include:
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club)
Bell, Book, and Candle (I placed a hold on this at the library and I'm hoping it's the book the movie's based on.)
The Golden Compass(children's book) by Philip Pullman
El Capitan Calzoncillos ( Captain Underpants in Spanish)
I'd also like to reread some short story collections by my current favorite authors Aimee Bender and Haruki Murakami (if you like magical realism check them out!).
Palomar, a graphic novel collection by Gilbert Hernandez, is another book I'd like to read again. Beautiful character development, amazing plots, touches of magical realism, and rich illustrations blew me away on my first reading.
