Those of you who have gone though our 10 Books to Read before You Die and are looking for some further guidance might want to try Rebecca’s Pocket's Summer Reading 2009. This posting includes links to a variety of recommended reading lists including Smart Summer Reading from UC Davis and Excellent Summer Reading Recommendations for Brides-to-Be. Rebecca also has lists of books for Young Adults, such as Summer Reading for Tweens from the Kansas City Star.
Of course, once you find a book to read you can check our holdings in Merrick Library's catalog.
I found Rebecca’s Pocket listed on the Librarians’ Internet Index, a great source for useful websites.
I thought about this a bit. I think my pick for best summer read would have to be Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. One of my all-time favorites, and just the name says summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I want to commit to a 600+ page book. How about one of Robert Parker's Jesse Stone books? They take place in a seaside community. For just a bit more depth, how about A Call for the Dead, by John LeCarre' or for a bit of satire Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene.
