Hey, it’s been over a year since I last put up a What Are You Reading? post, and because the summer is when many of us catch up on our book piles, it’s time to check in on your literary to-do list.

Me, I’ll be honest, Summertime is when I go diving into the dumpsters of literature for stuff that, even when you dust off the rat corpses fused to it, makes your conscience ache like it’s got a parasite………..at least not until September.

Go ahead, judge me, I’m not ashamed. Just yesterday I was at the local coffee shop flaunting my trash for all the world to see. There I was, sipping an iced tea and cracking the spine on Esoteric Approaches To Hybrid Bioreactor Landfilling—

Okay, okay, fine, you caught me in a lie. That’s not the title. It’s Erotic Approaches to Hybrid Bioreactor Landfilling. And oh did people ogle.

But lest you think I’m all style and no substance, I finished some outstanding novels recently: The Door, by Magda Szabo, The House With A Clock In Its Walls, by John Bellairs, Trouble Is A Friend of Mine, by Stephanie Tromly. And, currently, whenever I tire of Erotic Approaches, I pick up where I left off on Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance.

So, what about you? What are you reading this summer?
