Summer presents an entertainment trade-off — there's not as much TV on, but there is time for other stuff you've been meaning to do, like my Netflix challenge, and reading. Whether you need beach reads or some more serious fare, I have a few recommendations for you to crack — and me being Buzz, they're all works that are currently being adapted for movies or TV shows. Check out your Summer reading list now!

Out of these, I've read Water for Elephants, On the Road and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'm more excited for the film-versions of WFE and POBAW, though they were good books, I think they can be better on screen. And I really hope they won't screw up On the Road, though with the director of The Motorcycle Diaries I don't think they can go wrong. As for the rest, none of these particularly appeal to me.. I'd rather see the films than read the books. I'm With the Band sounds pretty cool, looking forward to seeing Zooey Deschanel in that one.

I loved Water for Elephants and can't wait to see the movie! Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was hard for me to get into so I stopped reading it. :(

read Water for Elephants and Eat,Pray,Love and can't wait to see those films! Going to pick up Something Borrowed from the library tomorrow, heard it's a good book and the movie has John Krasinski-enough said. I want to read the other books on the list!

Geek, I agree! It was really good but I wasn't ready for some of the graphic scenes. I'm really looking forward to Water for Elephants and Eat, Pray, Love.
