Today's "Ten on Tuesday" subject is ... 10 Books on Your Summer Reading List!
Hmmmmm ... books? Like paper and ink books? Goodness! Since I started knitting I don't think I've picked up a book. I have downloaded a few audio books, but can't quite warm up to that whole approach as yet. Since I've been engrossed in knitting patterns and knitting books, I haven't been paying much attention to what I might like to read this summer. Honestly, I plan to knit on the beach instead of reading. I bet I can come up with at least 10 that I would like to read, should I break my arm and not be able to knit, hehe!
1. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson ... this is currently on my Zune. I've listened to a few chapters and would like to finish, whether it be audibly or actually picking up the book.
2. Ghost - Confessions of a Counter Terrorism Agent, by Fred Burton ... another that I started as an audiobook. It expired before I finished, but I really would like to finish this one, it intrigues me.
3. Swimsuit, by James Patterson ... ahhhh, I love James Patterson.
4. Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert ... recommended by a number of my friends, I truly want to see what this is all about.
5. Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson ... I'm almost ashamed to admit I haven't read this yet. Especially in light of my soldier-son!
6. Alex Cross's Trial, by James Patterson ... loved every single one of the Alex Cross books, need to finish it off.
7. The Help, by Kathryn Stockett ... another recommendation from a friend. Sounds interesting.
8. Storm Prey, by John Sandford ... another author/series that I love, mmmmm, Lucas Davenport!
9. Medium Raw, by Anthony Bourdain ... my son turned me on to Anthony Bourdain's TV series, and I love him. Would love to read this one.
10. American Assassin, by Vince Flynn ... *love* Mitch Rapp, 'nuff said!
With my list done, I have to admit that it will be a minor (ok, perhaps a major) miracle if I get even half of these books read by the end of the summer. Darn knitting! LOL

The Help is wonderful, I think you would really enjoy it. And I've heard that 3 Cups of Tea is also great.
