Well after the Harry Potter series finished I haven't really looked forward (and waited) for any particular book release. I don't when the third installment of The Inheritance (Eragon) trilogy will be out..want to read it badly. Also, right now I am looking forward to catching a copy of the second book of The Bartimaeus trilogy (first one was worth a read)

this summer i will read raj comicand and some of manga. I like comic very much but it should be thin and reading can be finished in 2hour.Ilike fiction also but book must be thin with little twist and turn in the story.

I haven't planned anything. But I think I would finish off some of the fictions, mostly of Robin Cook's and John Grisham's. I am pretty much bored these days reading all those non-fictions. lol..I would also like to re read some classics of Victorian era, may be of Jane Austen's.

I am interested in reading a book called "Shocked" by Kitty Dukakis. Her husband ran for president about 12 years ago.
He was actually the democtratic nominee. I think he was running against the first preident Bush, anyway it will be good.

I plan first to finish Gravity's Rainbow. I ahve been reading that book since March and am still only half way through it. next to that I also intend to read Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Others would have to be The Whale (the other title was blocked) by Herman Melville, The Blind Assassin, Bonfire of the Vanities and more.

Although I prefer reading books in English I have a feeling I may turn to one that is in Dutch this summer. There is a writer that turns a historical story into fiction. Often there is some kind of conspiracy policy involved as well. Reading material like that can be very entertaining and for some "light reading" I prefer that.

It is good that you have the ability to read in more than one language and that you are going to be able to do some "light reading". Thanks for posting.
