Are you reading any good non fiction books or others at the moment?
I just finished NomadAayan Hirsi Ali's second book & highly recommend it.

Next on my list is....."A Crossing"--Brian Newhouse

I signed up for the summer reading club at the library. I checked out "Deadliest Sea: The Untold Story Behind the Greatest Rescue in Coast Guard History"
I don't usually like nonfiction, but this is really good.

Reading the Bible, by James Kugel. It's an in depth look at the old testament from the viewpoint of both the ancient philosophers and modern archeologists/ anthropologists and historians.
