If you are looking for a great summer read, let me recommend, e: The Story of a Number.  It is a history of mathematics with particular interest on that value 'e' that has a value of 2.72 or so.  It shares fame with that other special number, pi (3.14 or so).  I am about mid-way, and I would recommend it to all my previous calculus students.  It exhaustively covers the tension between Newton and Leibniz over the origins of differential and integral calculus.  If I were to teach mcv4u over again, I would change my strategy by adding the historical content and give way more credit to Leibniz.
