This is what my son is reading during Shark Week.

He had to read a fiction and non-fiction book over the summer; school started yesterday and the reports are due tomorrow. Never heard about this non-fiction book called Left for Dead about an 11 year old boy that cleared the captain's name of the USS Indianapolis.

I told my son about Quint's speech about it in Jaws and he said that's what peaked the boy's interest.

5. I had such a crush on him when I was little.

Even as an old, beat up Quint, those eyes are what gets me.

Yes, as a little girl I had a think for old guys with gray hair and blue eyes. No clue.

7. I should remember that for my daughter

For her non-fiction books this summer, she read:

How They Croaked - the Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802727948/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And, she also read, Chasing Lincoln's Killer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0439903548/ref=oh_details_o05_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

She loved the first book, was so-so on the second.
