Summer Reading List

I realized my favorite thing about blogging is input. So here's your opportunity. It's time again to make my summer reading list and I need your input. I enjoy non-fiction over novels, but am not opposed to novels if they're good.

Currently on my list:
Outliers
Hot, Flat and Crowded
An Ordinary Man
For One More Day

Still on my list from last year:
The Art of Thinking
The Good Earth
Catcher in the Rye
Kite Runner
Mere Christianity

i'm currently reading 'extremely loud and incredibly close' and loving it.

The Elephand and the Dragon by Robyn Meredith. It's about the economic rise of India and China. It was fascinating - and I think you'd really like it since you have your China connection.
