Summer 'Book It' Challenge


So the Lebanese boyfriend is away for the summer in Beirut which leaves me with a whole LOT of time on my hands. I have decided that rather than frittering my time away stalking his whereabouts on Facebook I would rather endeavor to read as many books as I can. The goal? (other than to become as WELL READ as possible).   Read 10 Books in 30 days.

The List:

John le Carre's, Absolute Friends
Dr. Frank Luntz Words That Work
Stieg Larsson's The Girl who Played with Fire & The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest  
Drew Westen's The Political Brain  
D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover
Kirstin Downey's The Woman Behind the New Deal: The Life of Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor and His Moral Conscience
Isabella Fonseca's Attachment
Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient
Naguib Mahfouz's The Cairo Trilogy: Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, Sugar Street
