I just finished Life of Pi. Finally. I'm not sure when I started (the fall?).
Thanks RLaG for reminding me to put this on my wish list. That list is short right now so I need to beef it up for my next trip to the library or store.
Somebody suggest a classic or two I should read. Frankly, I haven't read too many of them.

Sigh. My summer reading list consists of the following:
Object-Relations Centered Psychotherapy
Research Methodology I
The Adolescent in Therapy: Breaking the Cycle
Psychoanalytic Diagnosis
 Oh for a good trashy novel that I don't have to think to read.....

Flags of my Fathers, about the Marines taking of Iwo Jima.
I do not read much about marines, my main interest is the European theater. The book was given to my by my Navy Veteran nieghbor who was at Iwo Jima. Now HE understands what sacrifices were made. He told me the book is just like it was.
Will probably re read some Clancy books I have not read in a while

On my list to read:
The Travels of Marco Polo by Marco Polo
Quicksilver Neil Stephenson
History of the Peloponessian War Thucydides
I seem to be gravitating to more volumes of Shape, Fitness, Runner's World, Running Times, American Rifleman, though... than getting started with my summer reading.
