NPR’s summer reading list

Summer’s well on its way and while I’m not sure that a lot of people plow through book after book over the course of the summer the way they once did (at least, not without it being a school reading list), NPR is compiling a heck of a good list by talking to authors about what books they recommend to others.

It’s a great and simple concept I wish I’d thought of myself, even if I disagree with at least one of the choices (I find The Golden Compass to be a pretentious bore, but that’s clearly not a universally held opinion).

Check it out.

1. Amen. I find all of Pullman’s works to be just a waste of interesting concepts bureid behind some pretty hackneyed writing… I cannot understand why they have the following they do. Absolutely no joy in them…

   In other news, I’m reading the Sharpe series. Good stuff that should be right up your alley…
