Exams are nearly over and summer is nearly here (notwithstanding spring's rather reluctant arrival), so no doubt everyone's mind is turning to their summer reading. The Guardian newspaper has very thoughtfully compiled a reading list for you, and we have a number of the books in our collection, including a DVD in one case.
