Summer’s here, which means it’s time to pick up a book — or a Kindle, or an iPad. With all the traveling and hanging by the beach or pool, reading is fundamental! And celebrities are getting in on the action.

According to Bridal Guide, the tomes on Kim Kardashian’s kindle include Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul, by Deepak Chopra and Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, by Chelsea Handler. Ali Fedotowsky of The Bachelorette is reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. Cough. Well good for them, for expanding their brains.

We’ve got some reading suggestions for some other folks:

For Lindsay Lohan: Little Girl Lost by Drew Barrymore.

For Johnny Depp, aka He-Who-Does-Not-Age: The Picture Of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde.

For John Galliano, who said, “I love Hitler”: The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank.

For Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga’s stylist, who does not like working with fat people: FAT! SO? : Because You Don’t Have to Apologize for Your Size by Marilyn Wann, as well as Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture by Amy Farrell, Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body by Kate Harding and Health At Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight by Linda Bacon.

For Suri Cruise, priority-mail toting future media exec: You’ll Never Eat Lunch In This Town Again, by Julia Phillips.

For lyricist and all-caps enthusiast Kanye West: A Selection Of Poems by ee cummings.

For Taylor Momsen, President of the “Empowerment Means Wearing Stripper Shoes” Guild: Female Chauvinist Pigs by Ariel Levy.

For Gary Busey: Junky by William S. Burroughs. Or, wait. Maybe not.

For January Jones, who has kept the name of her baby daddy a secret: The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

For former pill-popping enthusiast Steven Tyler: Valley Of The Dolls by Jacqueline Susann.

For Lauren Conrad: L.A. Candy, by Lauren Conrad. Because she “wrote” it… But did she read it?

For LeAnn Rimes, who constantly posts bikini pictures and shares minute details about what she eats: How To See Yourself As You Really Are, by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, and Why Is It Always About You? by Sandy Hotchkiss.

Last, but not least: Mary Lee Gannon’s Starting Over: 25 Rules When You’ve Bottomed Out goes to Casey Anthony.
