I was on a road trip when this roundtable went around and really didn't feel like typing that much into my BlackBerry. I recently started reading Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer, which I think is full of Kingsolver's signature beautiful use of language; but so far, there's not much of a plot. I'm also reading this helpful guide for writers, which really just tells you everything every other book for authors tells you. Honestly, I'm only holding on to those two until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out on July 21.

I brought Absurdistan with me on my bike camp road trip extravaganza, but haven’t found it yet to be as engagingly funny as everyone claims it to be. Maybe I need to get further in to get hooked, but overall it isn’t hitting the right summer reading nerve (fat, drunk Russian != breezy, hot weather entertainment). Other than that, I’m mostly reading bike magazines and Phil Liggett’s tour coverage.
