Kyle, Ben, and I made this list in spring semester 2004. It was going to be our summer reading list. I failed. Actually, I think we all failed.

So, for anyone reading this post, my question for you is: do you have any book suggestions? Preferably good, worthwhile fiction books, or other books that you've read and would consider "must read" books. Apparently I've got lots of time on my hands this summer, so I should probably read more.
