Are you planning on reading any good books this summer?

Anyone planning on reading on any good books this summer? How many? My goal is to read at least 4. What about you?

I just started reading the new Dan Brown book "The Lost Symbol". What can I say about it so far other then its a Dan brown book and if you like his other stuff this is pretty much the same.

The next book i'm going to read is "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution" by Richard Dawkins. I love Richard Dawkins' books(ei."the God delusion") and i've been waiting to read this one since I got it for Xmas. Or I've also been wanting to read "Only a Theory" by Kenneth R. Miller. Might be weird summer reading choices but I love learning about evolution and have become fascinated with the evolution vs god arguments. Creationists baffle me.

I also plan on reading some Seth Grahame-Smith books. I just heard about "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" which I'll probably read first or "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" which a few of my friends have read.

I also really want to read "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. I've seen a few interviews with him and have been wanting to read his book for a while now. I've read similar books(Omnivore's dilemma,In defense of food etc) and found them very interesting and informative.

So my summer reading is a little varied: zombies, vampires, evolution, god, and dietary impact

I read the Lost Symbol. It was very typical Dan Brown, but I thought it was increasingly ho-hum even for him.

I just bought The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo -- I am looking forward to it. Heard it was great.

I may reread Watership Down for fun. It's my favorite book

I do like to read but for some reason can't seem to do it at home. I used to read every day to and from work during the commute. Now that I don't work... well, I have to make time

I've just started reading Lord of the Rings. I love the films so thought I had better try the books, liking the first one so far. I'll probably re-read the Harry Potter books at some point too, since I do that every summer. Perhaps I should look for something new though.

I'm reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest right now. They're all really good! The first one takes a while to get into because it jumps around a lot at first before the characters become more connected to eachother.
