This is where you can post what you plan to read this summer. Also, it is a response to the "alternate reality books" question.
To the first part: I'm going to read the last of the Pendragon books by DJ MacHale. FANTASTIC reads, if you haven't yet. Then I'll probably read the first 9 again. I especially liked 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9.
To the second part: If you don't mind the whole "Oh my goodness it's sacrilige they killed God", then DEFINITELY read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. I really basically love these books. And if you feel like the "sacrilige" will offend you, be mature and realize that this is a work of fiction, and view it as such.

Or, you know, just don't read it. (I'm perfectly comfortable with someone not being willing to read something, so long as they don't whine to me about what a terrible person I am for reading it. I'm all about respecting boundaries.)Giovanni Schwartz wrote:And if you feel like the "sacrilege" will offend you, be mature and realize that this is a work of fiction, and view it as such.

I am planning to read lots and lots of things. There's tons of non-fiction, much of it about literature, relationships, feminism, and the over-sexualization of our culture; I'm probably going to re-read The Cat Who books; and I'm doing my best to get through a bunch of Agatha Christi. And also I'll be spending so much time at the library that I'll probably just browse sections and pull out anything that looks interesting.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.
