First Change

Adam Gibbs dropped his recommendation of The Sound and the Fury, so I am dropping it from the list. Mainly, because he said it might be a low point of my summer, and he is still insisting that I will love Les Miserables. So, I am replacing it with a Dean Koontz book. Well, I didn't have a lot of choices, as I had to choose a book with the same page count. Never read Koontz before, hoping it will be fast read and really keep my attention.
