Rachel Motte leads a list of summer reading recommendations at The Evangelical Outpost. She’s going to dip into the Qur’an. That’s a bit thick for me at the moment.
I plan to read several Flannery O’Connor stories this summer and The Book of the Dun Cow

Dun Cow is on my reading list thanks to S.D. Smith. I’m sure I’ll get to it, er, sometime or another.
If I can be forgiven for offering another Gene Wolfe suggestion – I recommend his short story ‘The Detective of Dreams’. (The first time I read it I didn’t get it at all; but I just read it again the other day and it clicked for me. It’s really a wonderful story… although I don’t think I completely get it yet.)
– this recommendation is primarily for our detective fan and reviewer.
– If you’ve been afraid of tackling Wolfe here’s a ‘safe’ place to start. It’s included in his recent Best Of collection. (It’s also in a wonderful collection called Hall of fame fantasy, edited by Silverberg; which would make great summertime reading. A favorite of mine was ‘Our fair city’ by Heinlein.
Thank you for thinking of me. I’m not sure I have the motivation to tackle Wolfe again soon, though.
Lars; it’s a short story… I think you can lay down your sword long enough to read a short story right :=)
– I’ll tell you what… You read the Wolfe and I’ll read any recommendation of yours.
