why: I love most anything by OSC, and I have absolutely nothing against rereading them, but this is one I pick up exactly once a year - it's close enough that I remember why I love it and don't get antsy to read it, but it's far enough apart that I'm still surprised by what happens a little bit. It's a fun sci-fi/fantasy read, but it's got a lot of social commentary underneath that, which is what I really like.
The other book I read each summer, which I haven't yet this year because my friend is borrowing it, is also a huge amount of social commentary, though without the sci-fi coating:
title: Atlas Shrugged
