I'd always wanted to ask you "why a *Summer* list?" as well and always forgot, Ken, so glad Cynthia did it for me.
My current list:
I'm on a big Robert E Howard kick - currently working through all three volumes of Del Rey's R.E.H. Conan compilations. I'd read all of this stuff as a teen, but damn it's still good!
The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane - more Howard. Haven't read any of this. Between recommendations from my friend Jon, and the tie-ins with the Savage Worlds RPG, I'm really interested in checking these out.
What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy - James Paul Gee (started this, but I'm slow at non-fiction)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - JK Rowling
My son Zack also just bought the first of the Halo novels, The Fall of Reach, so I'll probably try that out too - need some SciFi to balance out all this fantasy! :)
And, as audiobooks:
Spook Country - William Gibson
Sundiver - David Brin
