10 Books to Read this Summer... part I

Not too long ago, my high school science teacher and friend on Facebook asked that I make her a "Top 10 Summer Reading List." I instantly said yes and then realized: even after 20 years, she's still giving me homework ;)...

Of course, while compiling my list, I realized I have a varied taste in books. And I think it an important part of being a writer: to read widely and out of your genre/comfort zone. So, this is for you, Ms. Pat! A summer reading list just in time for the Summer Solstice, which is a varied list of books that will make your summer interesting, entertaining, and dare I say, educational. 

Here's the first installment - 4 books to get you started.
