Goodreads asked Jerry Kirkpatrick:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Jerry Kirkpatrick Years ago, in undergraduate school, I learned not to have a summer reading list. Back then, I would start the summer with a long list and not read a single book on it! "Duty" to read such-and-such a book is still a duty and is a motivation killer. Now I just read what grabs me! You have to follow your emotions in this, and I even follow my emotions today when doing research for a blog or a new book. I do use my brain to evaluate what my emotions have told me, but the emotions take the lead. If I get bogged down in a book, I put it on the shelf, unfinished.
