Go Away! Read Some Books!

This is my booklist for this summer. It includes books that I have read, am currently reading, or hope to finish in the next month before school starts up again ("x" marks the ones I've read; "c" stands for "currently reading." Or "cookies," which is good enough for me).

_x_Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

_x_Goose Girl by Shannon Hale

_x_The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt

_x_The Angels of Morgan Hill by Donna Van Liere

_x_These is My Words by Nancy Turner

_x_The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch

_x_Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

___The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

___For One More Day by Mitch Albom

___The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

_x_Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagiza

_c_Out of Africa by Isak Denisen

___Three Against Hitler by Rudi Wobbe and Jerry Borrowman
_x_Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
_x_Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

And maybe nine more books in less than a month is a lofty goal, but by golly I'm gonna try! Plus my computer got killed with a bazillion viruses, so I'll be spending less time on facebook and such (I've highjacked Mary's computer without her knowing so that I could do this. . . Shh! Don't tell!). Also, if I find more fun ones I might modify the list to include/exclude different ones. As I finish the books, I'll update this post and mark them in yellow. And once school starts my goal will be at least one book for fun each semester. Because I've enjoyed this too much; I don't want to forget how much I like reading ever again!

Also, I'm always up for suggestions for my lifetime booklist! Any and all recommendations (outside of anything containing material to which I am morally opposed) are welcome.

Wish me luck!
