Reading is sexy...

Summer is here! Thank the Gods! Goddesses! Rodney King!
I love summer. I love summer nights and now that Sancho Paige and I have a beautiful house "The Louie" and a backyard complete with a firepit, it's going to a most excellent one indeed.
Every summer I try to get through my share of books, compiling my own summer reading list. 
Last summer I was quite ambitious and got through a nice chunk of those I set out to read.
