Author Birthdays
School is finally over. Time to relax and lie around with...a good book. I know, I know, you read all year long but during the summer its nice to read for fun, to read books that actually mean something to you and not just ones you have to write papers on. Try THE GROUND BENEATH HER FEET by June birthday baby Salman Rushdie. His wild and magical story of twins, serial killers and rock stars will keep you turning pages while you work on your tan.
