Summer Reading Update

I've updated my reading list a bit:

Already read:
1. Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall by Kazuo Ishiguro
2. How to Knit a Love Song by Rachael Herron
3. Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

4. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

In the middle of:
5. Willful Creatures (short stories) by Aimee Bender
6. To Kill a Mockingbird (which I haven't read since freshman year of high school. After half a chapter, I'm convinced it's a book wasted on 14 year olds.)

To read:

7. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

8. Wuthering Heights (in reading solidarity with GEW; another book I haven't read since my youth)

Right this moment I've got Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations in my non-typing hand. No so much reading for pleasure, but intro writers Wayne Booth and friends are reminding me what writing an argument is all about. And later I can take a break from my reading to, er, read.

Summer Reading

I'm too scared of failing to formally join in our local library's summer reading challenge. With all the academic books I have to read, reading eight books for pleasure seems like a lot in two months. Still, I'm secretly attempting the challenge, and here's where I am so far:

Already read:

1. Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall by Kazuo Ishiguro

2. How to Knit a Love Song by Rachael Herron

3. Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

In the middle of:

4. Willful Creatures (short stories) by Aimee Bender

5. Traveling with Pomegranates: A Mother-Daughter Story by Sue Monk Kidd and Ann Kidd Taylor (I am seriously considering sending this one back to the library unfinished.)

Any suggestions for books 6-8? I'm trying to stick to fiction, but I'm open to other genres.
