Goodreads asked Lisa See:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Lisa See Right now I'm reading poetry by contemporary Korean writers. Very beautiful!

Since I'll be writing all summer, I'll be pretty careful about what I read. I'm pretty superstitious about that. I don't want another writer's words to seep into my head even inadvertently. I write about such specific time periods and cultures. I always have to be careful not to write something like "the air was electric between them," in a time when they still didn't have electricity.
