Summer Reading?

I've been toying with the idea of listening to Yes Please by Amy Poehler and Bossypants by Tina Fey. I may also try one of Alan Alda's. His look really funny and I always enjoyed the series MASH.
Ive listened to both Bossypants and Yes Please on audiobook and they were hilarious! Since I was already familiar with their voices it felt like I was listening to a stand up comedy session. And they both had famous "guest voices" come in every once and awhile.
Ooh, I love the idea of guest voices :)I listened to As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride recently and I loved the guest voices. Although Cary's accent did add a lot to the story. I'm a sucker for a good accent in a narrator. What draws you to a certain voice in a book or audiobook?
So on my commute this summer, I am reading When to Rob a Bank. This is their first book in which both of them act as readers. I like the original reader better, he puts more of his personality into his reading.I'm only on the second disc, but I like the fast pace of the stories they tell.
What is on your summer reading list?
