Any good reading suggestions for the summer - fiction or non?

Radhanath Swami's book, The Journey Home
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1601090560?ie=UTF8tag=budatthegaspu-20li
nkCode=as2camp=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=1601090560 . I'm rereading
it, which I seldom do with books, and loving it as much the 2nd time as the
1st. Wonderful spiritual autobiography/adventure story. Would make a great
movie.

I'm reading Middlemarch right now, and so far it's been well
worth the (relatively minor) effort it takes to slog through
the local politics of the time in order to get to the wonderful
story that she sets you up for. I also just finished Unbroken
by Laura Hillenbrand and loved it~~reads like a novel even though
it's not.  I also downloaded a sample of The
Help on my kindle, and while it didn't do much for me lots of
others seem to love it.  Cutting For Stone, Half-Broke Horses,
and the Lincoln Lawyer have all gotten excellent reviews.  The
Last Of Her Kind, which came out about 5 years ago, is one of 
the best recent novels I've ever read.
