Summer Reading List

I just finished reading a couple of books from my summer reading list, and they were both terrific. Just thought that I would share:

Al Capone Does My Shirts


Beauty
By Robin Mckinley
(I loved this book and couldn't put it down!)




Up next? Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer (Twilight Series)

Ooh, good! Was this one of my recommends? "Beauty" is one of my all-time favorite books and ranks up there in my heart with Persuasion and Pride & Prejudice, in terms of romance. I may have Matt read it. You should read Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture." It's a quick and easy read with much poignancy and wisdom. He was a Carnegie Mellon professor who just passed away from pancreatic cancer.
