Read any good books lately?

     Between our week in Florida and Easter weekend I’ve gotten quite a bit of reading done lately. Just before the Florida trip I finished off the Phillip Pullman “His Dark Materials” triology, on the trip I read “The Memory Keepers Daughter”, “Marley and Me”, and finished “Bones to Ashes”. Over Easter I read “The Glass Castle”; and at home I have waiting for me “Middlesex”, “Mists of Avalon”, and “Grapes of Wrath”. Obviously, school must be getting busy so I’m procrastinating at home with all these good books

Below is my current reading list…some I’ve read before and want to re-read (yes those are Gordon Korman books, and yes he writes for kids, but I remember these books and wanted to read them again). Ones in red I’ve read since I made the list. Any other good book suggetions?
