What – and How Many – Are on Your Summer Reading List(s)?

We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from NAPA-Net readers – curious to know what other NAPA-Net readers are…reading. So, c’mon – it’s time to “share.”

Reading, of course, isn’t restricted to the summer months – but many of us require the respite of summer’s breaks to provide that window of time to focus on reading for pleasure. That said, there’s reading for pleasure, and reading for business, and – every so often they overlap. This week, we’d (all) like to know what you’re reading, how you’re reading it, and what you’d recommend the rest of us pick up for our summer reading.
