The 2010 Adult Summer Reading Program (SRP) wrapped up at the end of July and we’ve taken some time to analyze the Reading Forms to see what you all were reading this summer! There was obviously a wide variety of books read or listened to, everything from The A.B.C. Murders to You’ve Been Warned (what, no titles that started with ‘Z’?!).
From the results it looks like the NYTimes isn’t lying, Young Adult books are hot with adults right now! Oh and I think if I start Zarathustra’s Secret : The Interior Life of Friedrich Nietzsche now I might just finish in time to put it on my form for the 2011 SRP.
