On Summer Reading Thing 2008

I am a glutton for punishment. I love to read and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a list of books to check out from the library or add to my own personal library.

Without further ado here is my list for Summer 2008. I'll be starting my practicum in August so I don't know how much time I'll have then but...
