Ok folks, summer is coming up and you know what that means! Books! Lots and lots of books! I've taken the last couple of weeks to come up with my summer book list. And while I realize that this is quite a long list, it's a place to start at least. I'm anticipating that it really will take me much longer than just the summer to read all of these. Anyways, without further ado, here is my 2010 Summer Book List (in no particular order):
- The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
- Things I've Kept Silent About by Azar Nafisi
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (I know, I know. I'm a sinner for not having read this one yet)
- Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
- Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
- Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen (aka Karen Blixen)
- The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
- Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen
- Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
- The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
- Still Alice by Lisa Genova
- The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard
- Hormonal Chaos by Sheldon Krimsky
- Extras by Scott Westerfeld
- Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See

April Fools!
Phone conversation between me and Terry at approximately 8pm last night:
T: Hey honey! Why is it so loud over there?
C: Oh I'm at the gym. How are you? Why are you calling? Aren't you at work?
T: Yeah I am. Listen, I just thought I should call ahead and warn you, I got jacked in the face playing ball like 40 minutes ago and I might need stitches.
C: (Oh right, like I'm buying that. It's April Fools, he can't get me that easy!) Oh no! Are you ok?
T: Yeah I've just put some steri-strips on it for now and that's holding it together pretty good. I can't decide if I need stitches or not.
C: (unable to hold it in any longer) Ha! Right! I so don't believe you - it's April Fools Day man! And I'm no fool!
T: Oh. I had totally forgotten it was April Fools. I really did cut my head.
C: I don't believe you.
T: If this were an April Fools joke Caitlin, I would have just told you that I was in the Emergency Room already.
(long pause with only the sound of treadmills in the background)
C: Wait, are you being serious???
And yes folks, he was. We decided not to go for the stitches and just kept it taped up. He thinks he was a little bit concussed too, which actually should work as a great excuse in case he fails the take-home test he took this morning. Definitely not how I thought my night would go last night.
