Book recommendations

Eyelashes guy (remember him??) made a video in which he gave some summer book recommendations, which I thought was interesting. Some of the books he recommended were about Ronald Reagan, which I'm not interested in reading about, but some of the others seemed like they might be good. Anyways, it made me think about which books I would recommend for summer reading. In the video, eyelashes guy mentioned that he tried to stay away from books that were too heavy/depressing. Personally, I have no such qualms about reading a book like that at any time of year, I think. 

I haven't exactly read a ton of books lately, and it wouldn't be bad if I read more, so I'm sort of at a loss for a large quantity of books to recommend. Not Heart of Darkness, at least. That book was awful, and I don't understand why anyone would enjoy it. I think a book by David Sedaris could be interesting, even though I've never read a full book of his, only a couple of essays from them (A Plague of Tics and Me Talk Pretty One Day, respectively). 

Also something I have not read, but possibly things that Noam Chomsky has written could be interesting. He's written about linguistics and sociological topics. Sometimes I think about theoretically becoming the next Noam Chomsky. 

Something I am in the process of reading (as it's very long): The Andy Warhol Diaries. Andy Warhol had an interesting style of writing and I think the book gives a good insight into his life and how things were like at that time for him. It's too bad he died. I'm not sure how old he'd be if he were still alive - he might be an improbable age so if that's the case I understand him being dead. 

I wish Anderson would write a new book about his journalism career, covering the last decade or so since the last one.If he writes such a book I'd be sure to recommend it. He did write a new-ish book within the last couple of years, but it mostly focuses on him and his mother and their relationship. 

Also, as for books that were all the rage ~10 years ago, the Millennium trilogy is a great series. Seeing as they were very popular a number of years ago, I'm not sure that there are a lot of people who haven't read those books, or at least the first one. Regardless, if you haven't, I would highly recommend them. I personally thought they were brilliant, but I guess they might not be for everyone. If you like mysteries and intrigue and Scandinavian settings, you would probably enjoy this series. I have yet to find anything comparable to it. 

As I said, I haven't been reading that much lately, so I don't have too many books to recommend. One of the other things I'm currently reading is what I guess you'd call a report. It's the report on Stanley Milgram's obedience study, which I decided to read after seeing the movie in which Peter Sarsgaard (of course) played Milgram. It was a nice little movie. I'm glad I took a chance and watched it.
