Goodreads asked Peter Macinnis:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Peter Macinnis My WINTER list includes Robert Whyte and Greg Anderson's 'A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia', out next month, and as I get ready to write one of my last handful of books ('Not Your Usual Rocks'), there will be a lot of geology:

Ivar B. Ramberg et al., 'The Making of a Land: Geology of Norway';
Ari Trausti Gudmundsson, 'Living Earth: Outline of the geology of Iceland';
Roger Osborne, 'The Floating Egg';
Jan Zalasiewicz, 'The Planet in a Pebble';
Marcia Bjornerud, 'Reading the Rocks';
Charles Lyell, 'The Principles of Geology';
C. A, Süssmich, 'An Introduction to Geology of New South Wales';
Griffith Taylor, 'Sydneyside Scenery';
Martin J. S. Rudwick, 'The Great Devonian Controversy', and
a couple of metres more of shelf.

For relaxation, Scandinavian crime: that and the first two rock books reflect where I was, this time last year.
