So this got me thinking about summer reading lists. (Do you make them? Are they shaped by your friends or your interests or what? Basically I want to know not what you are reading, but what you are planning on reading this summer and why?)
A snapshot of student reading habits over two decades
From Why do Men Have Nipples? to the novels of J.K. Rowling and Jane Austen, surveys identify ephemeral, and enduring, undergrad reading choices
And here's an unrelated anecdote about Harper Lee (happy birthday, Lady!!!) from the Writer's Almanac:
To support herself while writing, she worked for several years as a reservation clerk at British Overseas Airline Corporation and at Eastern Air Lines. In December of 1956, some of her New York friends gave her a year's salary along with a note: "You have one year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas." She decided to devote herself to writing and moved into an apartment with only cold water and improvised furniture.

I read a lot from my peep's goodreads lists, but I'm a little limited by the small literary section in the local library. Seems like mostly, I read from what's available and from that, what I haven't recently already read.
San Marcos' pub. library rocks.
It would be nice if there was something like netflix for you, then, Carmen. A huge internet library from which you can order whatever you want to be delivered straight to your house. And no late fees.
