My Summer Reading List, 2015 (Sort of)

1 comment

Obviously, we still have a month to go before summer officially begins, but a few nights ago, I jotted down the following list of books, all of which I am interested in reading in the near future1.

  • The Fifth Heart by Dan Simmons (reading this now)
  • Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin
  • The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin
  • No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin
  • Finder’s Keepers by Stephen King
  • The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris2
  • Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris3
  • Colonel Roosevelt by Edmund Morris
  • The Autobiography of Mark Twain by Mark Twain
  • Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain
  • One Summer by Bill Bryson
  • Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow
  • The Wright Brothers by David McCullough

What’s on your list?

  1. I say “near future” but my experience has been that when I post lists, I sometimes stick to them, and sometimes ignore them completely. What I read next can sometimes be a spontaneous decision. ↩
  2. A re-read, although it’s been more than 13 years since I last read this book. ↩
  3. Also a re-read. ↩

  1. Pretty hefty reading list! What I hate about these lists is that they always make me go “Oh, I forgot about that book, I want to read that too…”…and so my reading list grows and grows and grows. The curse of avid readers?

    Personally, I’m trying to work my way through the Hugo packet now. I just wish I was a quicker reader, but it’s either speed or comprehension. :/
