Summer Reading... Outside the List

I must confess... Summer is winding down and I have not nearly read the titles that I wanted to read.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  I have never made a "Summer Reading List" before.

The Vampire Chronicles... I inhaled the first one and moved on to the 2nd then to the third.  In the third, I lost interest and I think it is waiting patiently under my night stand.  I saw it peeking out this morning when I crawled out of the bed.  I was moving pretty slow because I wanted to read Michael Connelly's The Lincoln Lawyer yesterday.  (I usually avoid the movie until I've read the book.)  I enjoyed reading Mickey's adventure and managed not to hit the buy button on my kindle for another one last night.

Here's a few from the list that wasn't on the "reading list."
The Lincoln Lawyer  - M. Connelly
The Gunslinger - S. King
Ava's Man - R. Bragg
All Over But the Shoutin' - R. Bragg
The Valley of the Horses - J. M. Auel
The Clan of the Cave Bear - J. M. Auel
(quite a variety)

That leaves me wondering - do I stick to what I planned in May or just read what I feel like?  Of course, it's summer.  I 'm going to read what I want.

Ha ha... so do you think the students enjoy reading outside the reading list too?
