Things I Miss Friday: the summer reading book table

I went to Barnes & Noble last night to pick up a new Star Trek novel for the hubby to read on the plane this weekend.  While walking through the fiction section, I was undeniably drawn to the summer reading table.  I always hated summer break when I was younger because I wanted to stay in school.  The bright spot?  The summer reading list.  I loved going to the library and seeing the display table of all the summer reading options, arranged by grade and reading level.

Looking at the summer reading tables now is like taking a trip down memory lane, remembering the books I read over summers past.  I remember the summer before my junior year, taking the list to the library and deciding I would choose the biggest book on the list (show-off snot that I was) so I chose The Fountainhead.  I loved it, of course, but I haven't read it since and would really love to read it again because I think there's so much more I could get from it now.

I have books I already own on my to-read list (as always) but perhaps I'll take a trip to my local library and peruse the summer reading list to get a fresh idea.

What's on your summer reading list?
