***Updated 7/29/09-The Lazy Days of Summer Reading

If you're like me you probably have a stack of books you've been saving to read during the lazy, warm summer days. Though I have a huge list of possibilities I can't help but look to see what's on the summer reading lists of newspapers, columnists and the like. Take a look and see if any pique your interest. Let me know if there are other lists you'd like to see included. I'll update as time permits.

And of course, I'd love to know what You'll be reading this summer.

From NPR:
