John G.’s Summer Reads
There are two things I love to do to escape the brutal summer heat: read a good book in the comfort of my cool, darkened apartment and watch a good movie in a cool, darkened theater. I may even take a book to read during the pre-movie entertainment that hardly anyone pays any attention to. … Continue reading John G.’s Summer Reads

Drinking At … Continue reading Steven’s Summer Reads
Katie’s Summer Reads
My summer reading is the same as any other season. I want a story that grabs me. I want to be transported, while comfy on my couch ensconced by dogs. I want to finish the book and feel the need to call my friends and tell them to read it, who cares that it’s three … Continue reading Katie’s Summer Reads
