This Monday is Memorial Day, which means summer is here. One of my favorite parts of summer is grabbing a book and burying myself in it for like 5 hours. Although I do plan on networking this summer and completing some other projects, I, Hussain al Nowais, will also finish my summer reading list. My list includes a biography or two, some fiction, non-fiction and other books I have wanted to read for a while. If you are looking at a few books to read this summer on the beach, here are several you may want to put on your Amazon Wish List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go Set a Watchman<\/em><\/strong>: This is the sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>. It\u2019s supposed to take place 20 years after the events of Lee\u2019s first and before this book\u2019s release only novel. I loved To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em> when I was a child, and I look forward to seeing where Scout is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Game of Thrones: <\/em><\/strong>I love the show, but I have always wanted to sit down and see how Martin\u2019s books differ. Apparently, especially with this current season, a lot has changed. A Game of Thrones<\/em> is the first book in the Song of Fire and Ice series, and at more than 800 pages, is not a quick read. Still, I do want to see if Jon Snow is a little more interesting in the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Wright Brothers<\/em><\/strong>: David McCullough is our foremost popular historian, and his newest biography on the fathers of aviation certainly looks to be among his best. Their wiki doesn\u2019t do them justice. If you\u2019re new to McCullough, I would suggest his biographies on John Adams and Harry Truman besides this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cat\u2019s Cradle<\/em><\/strong>: Vonnegut is one of my favorite writers of all time, and I\u2019ve been trying to make a point to reread one of his books. Cat\u2019s Cradle stayed with me even more so than Slaughterhouse-Five<\/em>. Did you know that Vonnegut used the manuscript to this book for his Master\u2019s Thesis? I hope he graduated at the top of his class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wyrd Sisters<\/em><\/strong>: Not every story needs to be a depressing one. If you haven\u2019t read anything from Terry Practchett and his Discworld universe, you are really missing out. Pratchett died this year, and although I will never get the chance to read a new Terry Pratchett, that doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t cherish the ones written. I would check out his wiki to see which book matches your taste and sense of humor. This one is a spoof of Shakespeare with special attention paid to \u201cHamlet\u201d and \u201cMacbeth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This Monday is Memorial Day, which means summer is here.
