My top picks are the Stephenie Meyer books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and The Host. She has a brillaint way of writing that sucks you straight in. Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse are a vampire series that have enough action for the boys and enough romance for the girls. There is going to be a fourth book in the series called Breaking Dawn that is coming out on August 2. I also like Water for Elephants which is a really nice story. I am currently reading Snuff.. I am not sure if I like it enough to recommend it. My favorite summer reads are The Hitchhiker's Series by Douglas Adams, any Neil Gaiman book, Terry Pratchett writes a nice series called Discworld. I love Alice in Wonderland. It has such a different view point reading it as an adult than a child. Anything by Augusten Bourroughs, Hunter S Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut.. Have a great summer everyone :)
