I'm putting out the call - my first vacation in over two years (unless you count my brief period of unemployment from December 19, 2006 till February 11, 2007) is coming up in a few weeks and I need some ideas for books and books-on-tape (er, CD) to read / listen to in the car ride up and back from Michigan and on the BEACH!
This summer I've read some good ones, including the foodie locavore books mentioned in my last entry as well as a few good novels. I'm up for anything! So please, give me some ideas. I plan on hitting up the library next week and can put in my requests online whenever. Anyone read anything great lately???
I'll probably podcast some This American Life, too, anyone else got anything they love to listen to?

I just saw that they are making "Youth In Revolt" into a movie, you should read it (if you haven't) so we can go see it together!
I don't have any new literature to suggest, but check out The Pugilist At Rest by Thom Jones or A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; I've read both those this summer and they were awesome.
oooh I remember reading Youth in Revolt, I think I actually borrowed your copy, Neen. We'll def. have to go see it! (and you can't go w/out me like SATC because I STILL haven't seen it now!). :)
Elliot, I def. wanted to read Confederacy of Dunces, thanks for the reminder. I will totally check out the other one, too. Thanks for the suggestion, I knew you'd come through with something good! :)
