Science (non) Fiction

Summer reading lists

I’m working on putting together a list of books I want to read this summer, when I’ll hopefully have a bit more time (or make more time) for pleasure reading. I need a mix of fiction and non-fiction, more skewed towards fiction, since it takes me longer to get through non-fiction than fiction. So here’s what I’ve got so far – do you have any suggestions? (Thanks to Kari for a lot of these ideas from her ‘fave books’ list )

- ‘Finding Darwin’s God’ – Kenneth Miller (started but never got very far)
- ‘Total Truth’ – Nancy Pearcey
- ‘Desiring God’ – John Piper (I WILL finish it this summer!)
- Lord Peter love story series (‘Gaudy Night’ and ‘Busman’s Honeymoon’ left)
- ‘The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency’ – Alexander McCall Smith
- ‘Saving Fish from Drowning’ – Amy Tan
- ‘Evensong’ – Gail Godwin
- ‘Circle of Friends’ – Maeve Binchy
-’The List’ – Robert Whitlow

I need more ‘classics’ I think, but I don’t have many good ideas for ones I haven’t read… what have you read recently that you’d recommend? What’s on your list to read this summer?

Oh, and my brother bought a new (to him) car this weekend – I took him to pick it up in Concord (that whole experience is a WHOLE different story ), and it’s quite cute (he’ll hate that)! It’s a 2002 VW Jetta, silver, with something like 25k-ish miles, and a good deal. Here’s a pic of ‘The Dubya’:
