Summer reading

Okay. Other than going to Seattle, the best part of my summer has been having some time to read books and whatever else for fun. There haven't been many, but the ones I've read have been good. So here are some recommendations:

1. Into the Wild by John Krakauer (heartbreaking and breathtaking all at once)
2. Shop Girl by Steve Martin (short and sweet...can finish in an afternoon on the beach if you are so inclined and have such an afternoon to relish in)
3. On Writing by Stephan King (great book even if you are not a writer and probably even if you hate to write)
4. Under the Banner of Heaven by John Krakauer (haven't finished it yet, but it's fascinating already...besides pretty much everything he writes is amazing)

Hopefully I'll burn through a few more before the summer ends.
