Summer Goals

Yeah, it's still April, I know. I'm well aware of my seasons. However, since the BYU finishes so early, my summertime is now. When I was growing up, all the kids in our family would make summer goal sheets as soon as school got out. We'd post our goals on the closet door in the kitchen and then mark off our progress. In that spirit, I'd like to post my summer goals. I have greatly benefited from 360 degree feedback exercises in the past, so if anyone has suggestions, please make them known.

1. Learn to lasso things while astride a longboard. The ultimate goal here is to lasso a cat while riding down the street on a longboard.
2. Summer reading list (finalized list coming soon).
3. Figure out a way to unsubscribe to Christian Woman magazine, which Bryan signed me up for. They're relentless.
4. 200. I know I can.
5. Transcend.

Reading Books

Every once in a while, I like to read a book. I try not to make a habit of it, but there comes a point where even espn.com can no longer provide enough intellectual nourishment.
I'm currently in the middle of Team of Rivals, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. It's outstanding, and it falls into the two broad categories of books I typically hit:

1. Harry Potter
2. Historical biographies

This fall I'm taking a Dostoevsky class here at the BYU, so I'll be branching out there a little with brother Fyodor. In the meantime, I'm going to need to do some reading this spring and summer. Given the literary propensities of my reader pool, I figured I'd throw out my first bleg. What summer reading do you suggest for me? I commit to a follow-up post in which I announce my summer reading list.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. If anyone suggests any of the Twilight detritus, I'm unfriending you immediately on facebook.
