Summer Reading

A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs
If you think this will be as entertaining as Running with Scissors, you'll be disappointed but it will be as disturbing, if not more, and will explain a lot about the missing piece in RWS (what is up with his dad?). I've not only read most of Burroughs books, but also Look me in the Eye by John Elder (Augusten's brother who has Aspbergers)
Still Summer by Jaquelyn Mitchard
I've read a few things by Mitchard (including her column) and all the books have some interesting twists and are pretty suspenseful, this one delivers with the adventure and suspense. It is about some old friends taking a sailing trip in the Caribbean and then there are some major mishaps and tragedies and they are left fighting for their survival. A compelling read.
Sin in the Second City by Karen Abbot
Non-fiction about prostitution in Chicago at the turn of the century. Haven't read yet, but we'll be reading for book club. I loved Devil in the White City and hope this is somewhat like this.
Love The One You're With by Emily Griffin
Major chick-lit (so if you like Sex in the City...read this)! She also wrote Something Borrowed, Something Blue and Babyproof which are all easy, fun reads that are kind of a series but can be read independently.
So get started on some educational (and mostly just entertaining escapism)!
