Summer Reading Challenge 2006 Goals 13 weeks?
One book a week, alternating somewhat evenly between fiction which
I love, and non-fiction which I have a hard time getting into most of the time.
Some of the books that I want to read this summer in no particular order:
Non-Fiction
Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser
Eating in the Dark: America's Experiment with Genetically Engineered Food by Kathleen Hart
DONE Unveiling Islam by Ergun Mehmet Caner Library book
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss
The Power of a Positive Mom by Karol Ladd
Raising Strong Daughters by Jeanette Gadeberg
DONE Knitting Rules: The Yarn Harlot Unravels the Mysteries of Swatching, Stashing, Ribbing & Rolling to Free Your Inner Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee This needs to be done before she comes to Portland this book tour.
Boundaries With Teens: When to Say Yes, How to Say No by Dr. John Townsend
Mayada: Daughter of Iraq One Woman's Survival Under Saddam Hussein by Jean Sasson
The Language Police: How Pressure Groups Restrict What Students Learn by Diane Ravitch
The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands by Dr Laura Schlessinger
DONE Plague: A Story of Science, Rivalry , and the Scourge That Won't Go Away by Edward Marriott
DONE A Heart for Any Fate: Westward to Oregon 1845 by Linda Crew
DONE Ladies Were Not Expected: Abigail Scott Duniway and Women's Rights by Dorothy Nafus Morrison
Fiction
The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway The Finca Vigia Edition
DONE The Rapture by Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye Library Book
The Davinci Code by Dan Brown
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Divine by Karen Kingsbury
Even Now by Karen Kingsbury
DONE Grace In Thine Eyes by Liz Curtis Higgs Library Book
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
It looks like most of the books on my list are non-fiction. All but five are on my shelves, three are library books, two I have right now, and one that doesn’t come out until June 6, and I know there are already several people in front of me with it on hold, and two added to the list this afternoon are from a friends' library. There's just not enough time to read this summer!!
