• Great to see a few of you are planning to read Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go--it's one of my favorite books. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
  
  I'm finishing up Wolf Hall right now and then plan to read The Matterhorn. Not sure what I'll check out after that.

• Although I finally have a summer when school isn't assigning me a summer reading list, I put together my own just for fun. The Count of Monte Cristo (over halfway done), C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, and Lord of the Rings.

• I'm currently reading "The Fourth of July..and the founding of America" by Peter de Bolla. It exposes the misleading things we learned in school. Really very interesting. For example, July 2, 1776 should actually be Independence Day (and the author explains the facts that we didn't learn). I am a huge 'birth of the country' guy. I love reading about how we got here and who was responsible. I have discovered many false things we were taught in my own reading, so when I read the premise of this book I had to give it a try. Happy Reading All!!

• "Nothing To Envy: Ordinary Lives In North Korea" by Barbara Demick. The subject fascinates me and this book is getting great reviews.

• I made up my own off of a book mark that I got as a gift. It includes 50 books, and while reading all fifty will take me more than the summer since some of them are pretty hefty, the list includes 1984 by George Orwell, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and 46 more. Check out the full list on my blog: izziesays.tumblr.com
