Books: Show us your summer reading list.
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.

How the Hula Girl Sings

Joe Meno

Life and Fate (New York Review Books Classics)

Vasily Grossman

After Dark

Haruki Murakami

Vonnegut is a wonderful writer! Enjoy!

I read Slaughterhouse-Five a few months ago, and I fell instantly in love with it. It's so stricken with feeling and thought. I really can't say too much about it, because it's just one of those books that you have to read to feel. <3 I added it to my favorites list. I hope you like it, too-- along with the rest of your books!

For some reason, I've never read his books. His recent passing is a great motavator for me, I guess... :)

His recent death made me realize that as familiar as I am with his works, I had never actually read them... so, quick as a wink, I Amazoned myself a copy... :)

I'm currently reading the kite runner, i'm at page 65. i think it's worth reading.

I'm about half way through it, and I think it's excellent, especially for a first book. That's how I heard about it - word of mouth (if that applies over the Internet) :)
He really draws you in to his world and concerns. You feel like you know the people involved. They aren't simply "others" anymore. If you read about world events, you gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of what's envolved that rarely makes the papers. The opening sentence drew me in...
