I enjoy reading and listening to the radio. These two pleasures converged recently on the web. In July, NPR (National Public Radio) published a list of the “100 Best Beach Books Ever,” as complied by listeners. I was surprised to see nine of my favorites on the list (#2 is To Kill A Mockingbird). But the books listed are mostly those written some time ago (two by J.D. Salinger made the list).
This summer I read two novels recommended by author Stephen King: Shatter by Michael Robotham—and The Tourist by Olen Steinhauer. Both were published in March, 2009 and were hard to put down. Books like these make you wish they would never end.
The nice thing about finding a new book you enjoy is that it gives you hope that there is another undiscovered gem just around the corner.
Hope springs eternal.
Even in summer.
