Maui Reading List

One of the things I really enjoy about vacations is the chance to read. I mean, really read - a soft tropical breeze blowing through my hair, on a sandy beach on Maui where there is nothing to do except turn the pages as the sun moves lazily across the horizon. I've always loved reading, and once earned a library certificate when I was a kid by reading 50 (fifty!) books in one summer. Yup, while all the other California kids were flying kites, building forts, playing hide and seek I was ensconced in the local library plowing through books.

One fond memory I have is at my Grandpa and Grandma's house in Quartz Hill, California. When the weather turned cool I would fetch Grandpa's old army jacket, grab a stack of Reader's Digest condensed books and sit in a utility trailer reading away the hours under the weak winter sun.

I also love to read on planes - and with a five hour flight there and back, that's TEN hours of reading time! Yeah, I'm a nerd. What can I say?

Anyway, here is my vacation reading list. Let's see how much of it I can burn through!
