Summer Reading Suggetions

It make sense that, since I work in a library, and have access to hundreds of books every day, that choosing what to read over the summer should be a piece of cake (mmm tasty, delicious cake). Well, yes and no. You see, sometimes I just become overwhelmed when trying to find something, there are just SO many books! Most are absolute rubbish, and I'd really rather not waste my time on those books.

This is where all of you come in. I need SUGGESTIONS! Tell me what you're read, what you think I'd like, what you yourself want to read but are to lazy to actually read so you want me to read and summarize for you (I actually would if you really want me to), or something that is totally out there that I would NEVER chose for myself. Anything, really. Please don't be offended if I don't pick/like/finish/find what you suggest, but I will look into all of your suggestions.

Here is my list of summer reading so far:
Animal Farm (Orwell)- My teacher suggested this one, he was actually a bit surprised that I hadn't read it yet. So I figure I'll give it a try, animal and politics...whats not to enjoy!

Battle for the Labyrinth (Rioridin)- Ahhh kids books about Greek mythology! It's the...(thinks)
....fourth book in a series. Really good way to introduce tweens to myth. I highly recommend the series.

Jane Eyre (Bronte)- This one is a re-read, I read it two summers ago so I figured I'd recycle it for this summer :)

Going Rogue (Palin)- Because I actually like her and want to know more about her.

An Obama biography- Because I really don't like him, but he is the president so I should know more about him. this one I do need some direction on. Anyone read a good one? Preferably an unbiased (in either direction) one, if one exists haha.

Either a biography on Washington or Regan- Both awesome presidents that I want to know more about.
Again, suggestions are NEEDED here, we've got soooo many books on both men at work. I could spend a summer reading books on Washington and another on Regan's bios!

Series of Unfortunate Events (Snickett)- Hilarious author, I read the first book, I want to read at least the next two by the end of summer.

Case for a Creator (Strobel)- For someone who considers science 'voodoo magic', this one will take longer (It doesn't interest me, talking about science puts my brain into sleep mode). The author was an atheist who went and interviewed the most-smartest science people he could find to try to prove one and for all that Creationism isn't real...yeah it didn't work out so well.

There's No Place Like Here (Ahern)- Cause what's summer without some chick lit? ;)

Persuasion (Austen)- Ahhhh but this is more of my style of chick lit! My FAVORITE Austen novel deserves another read. Mmmmm Captain Wentworth....

As You Like It (Shakespeare)- I've seen a film version of this, now I want to read the actual play to see if it really is my favorite.

This might look like a 'lot' of books, but I tend to read three of four books at a time so it won't take me long to get through just these. Again, do NOT be shy with suggestions! I've read classics, modern, kids books, vampire books, wizard books, dragon books, princess books, zombie books, sci-fi books, long books, short books, funny books, stupid books!

Inversely, if you're looking for some reading suggestions, trust me, I have PLENTY. Just ask! :)




But if you suggest that I read Twilight, I will punch you in the face. Already went through that phase. It's over now. The books are HORRIBLE and the movies are only good to make fun of. That is all.
