Four Books for the Beach.

It's summer time.  Are you going to the beach? a cottage? are you taking a drive across America or a stay-cation? Whatever you do, you'll need something to read. Here are four recommendations:

City of Thieves
When someone asks me for a book recommendation, this is always the first title I suggest.  You should read it, too.  You'll like it.

Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead
Out in paperback this summer.  If you are tired of the typical private-eye story, check out Claire DeWitt.

Beat the Reaper
A wild story.  Perfect vacation reading.

Love Warps the Mind a Little
Everything a novel should be.  A wonderful book.

Two bonus recommendations:  The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles and Wild by Cheryl Strayed.   

Have fun!
