If you're suffering from post-Potter depression, I hear good things about Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. My own recommendation is Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. A work of absolute genius and new addition to my top 5 books ever.

Reading?  ??? Who has time to read! I'm spending all summer watching The Two Coreys.  ::)

Saw Rickles on The Daily Show, was thinking about reading that.

Rickles book not all that good.

Just got the Don Rickles memoir, but given the large type and spacing, should be done within a few Path rides. Also picked up Five-Finger Discount.

Any other suggestions for summer reading?
