One book I read this summer and loved:
Molly Fox's Birthday, by Dierdre Madden
One book I devoured like there was no tomorrow, then felt terrible: Columbine, by Dave Cullen
The book I have been waiting to read for several months that is finally arriving tomorrow because I had to order it overnight from Amazon because I simply cannot wait any longer: The Genius and the Goddess: Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, by Jeffrey Meyers
Two books I am so excited about I might explode: My Prizes: An Accounting, by Thomas Bernhard, and C, by Tom McCarthy
P.S. Dear Marilyn, how the hell did you do this to your hair?

I couldn't stick with Wolf Hall or Devil in the White City either. Oh well.
I did enjoy Kate Atkinson's When Will There Be Good News, and am looking forward to The Passage.
I started reading the Dud Avocado in January and still haven't finished it. As much as I liked it, too.
