My 2010 Summer Reading List; Won't You Join Me?

For those of us who teach (or go to school) for a living, summer begins when school lets out. Since I teach community college, I still do teach during the summer term, but I teach only 1 class instead of 2 or 3 and the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed. Plus, I get a week off between spring and summer term and almost a month off between summer and fall terms, so I, just like any of the students, am antsy for my summer to begin!
Summer for me means more time outside and more time for me. Well, sort of. It is hard to have very much "me" time with a 2-year old, but it is more fun none-the-less. Anyways, I am hoping to find (or make) some time to get in a lot of reading this summer. There are quite a few books I have been meaning to read for ages, and some others that really pertain to the topic of sustainability, which is what I teach and how I am trying to live.
I am the type of reader who always seems to be reading 5 or 6 different books at once, which means that I need to finish up the stack of books that I am already reading before I can tackle any on my summer wish list. And, I know a few of the books on my list are a bit long and involved (hello Anna K), but I am going to see if I can meet my challenge.
My summer begins tomorrow (as soon as I give and grade a final for 32 students). If you are a reader (or not) and want to challenge yourself to a summer reading list, join me in creating a summer reading list, reading, and share what you learn!
