Summer Reading

I haven't really given much thought to my reading list for this summer. My goal will be to finish up some of the books that I've started, and spend some time enjoying my latest stash from Barnes and Noble. And then there's a few that I'll probably buy towards the end of the summer. They are in no particular order

Books To Finish:

Who Are We? by Samuel Huntington (I started this last summer while traveling through Europe. I've made it about halfway)

Some Thoughts Concerning Education by John Locke (I start this a few days before heading back to school last August. I didn't get very far, but I'm excited to start it again)

Miracles by CS Lewis (I'm a little more than halfway through it...it's taking me a while)

New Book Stash from BN:

The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett

The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer

Jane Austen Ruined My Life by Beth Pattillo

Me and Mr. Darcy by Alexandra Potter

Becoming Jane Austen by Jon Spence

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

Emma by Jane Austen

(Yes, those are all VERY girly books - cut me some slack!)

The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944 by Rick Atkinson. It was recommended to me by a history buff I stayed with in Berlin. It's the second volume of "The Liberation Trilogy" (I need to find the first Volume - An Army At Dawn).

Books I Will Purchase At A Later Date:

Resounding Truth by Jeremy Begbie

C.S. Lewis: A Shiver of Wonder by Derick Bingham



And I will gladly take any other suggestions!
