I have finished my 2nd year exams and my summer has officially begun. I've been given a reading list for one of my psychology modules next year. I added a few books that I wanted to finish as well.
Intuition Pumps and other tools for thinking - Dennett
The problem of the soul - Flanagan
The moral landscape - Harris
Understanding Psychology as a science - Dienes
Flow - Csikszentmihalyi
Kafka on the shore - Murakami
Love in the time of cholera - Marquez
If you have a similar list I'd love to hear it. Share your summer reading here!

I don't have a summer reading list as such, but might look and see what books are recommended for my masters course next year and get going on some of those!

Hey Greeneyed girl! What subject is your masters? It would be interesting to see what you have been assigned for your reading list!

That's a huge list, do you think you will be able to read all that before your course? Also what about etymology? No linguist should be without a dictionary of etymology!

Ahhh but for etymology you can just use etymonline (the online etymology dictionary!)

Me too! I've been holiday for a few weeks though, haven't read nearly as much as I had this time last year, but then last year I was on a lot of trains and we were in hostels a lot so no telly, this year I have Charmed 
. Finished off Life after Life and Americanah, and just read Noble Conflict and most of Women in Love, which got on my nerves after a while so I haven't finished it yet. But at the moment my list is...
-Women in Love
-One Day
-Twelve Years a Slave
-The Princess Bride
-Clockwork Orange
-Tenant of Wildfell Hall
Going to start Sons and Lovers but if it's as irritating as Women in Love I'm going to pack it in trying to get along with D.H Lawrence. And once I've finished those I'll find something else.

Ha ha no way at all! Read two of them during my undergrad degree! Going to try and get through the starred ones and possibly a few of the other ones in areas I'm less confident on! Luckily I'm very ahead in syntax so that's all good!
Ahhh but for etymology you can just use etymonline (the online etymology dictionary!)

Little etymology tidbit for everyone! The word 'armadillo' comes from the latin 'to arm', named after it's powerful armoured shell :P

It's amazing how much reading you can get on with when you don't have a tv to distract you isn't it? You'll have to tell me if the princess bridge is worth reading!

I'll be haunting this thread looking for new stuff to read.

I am planning on rereading all of the game of thrones books this summer.
Also planning on rereading the Firesong series. (Think that's what they're called, i rememeber reading them when i was like 10 and loving them)
Oh and there's a new Peter James book out. He's awesome but it's only on hardback atm. Will look for a kindle version.
