Summer reading–recommended by Stephen King

Okay, Stephen King did not have 8th graders in mind when he recommended these books for summer reading, but I thought some of you might be interested anyway.  I plan on checking out some of these books–especially the Jodi Picoult.  In fact, I may download the audio books to my iPod.  I’ve got a lot of lawn to mow this summer, and a good book will make the time go faster.

I hope copying the link works.  If it doesn’t, go to http://www.ew.com and click on the books tab.
