Summer Reading Lists Are Here

By Chris Schluep

Summer has officially arrived, and with it come summer reading lists designed to help us while away our beach (or air conditioned) time with a good read.

• The New York Times offers an eclectic list of books to read, ranging from an autobiographical pop culture read to a serious history of digital computers.

• NPR has did something interesting with their summer reading list. They had indie booksellers make the picks.

• USA Today goes interactive with their picks.

• The Wall Street Journal put out a well-chosen summer reading list.

• USA Today goes interactive with their picks.

• Entertainment Weekly had had perennial best seller Jennifer Wiener pick the list.

• Huffington Post suggested summer books for kids.

• The Chicago Tribune offers thrillers for standing in line at Six Flags Great America .

• The Birmingham News went literary.

So what's the consensus? It seems like everyone's excited about The Age of Miracles and Bring Up the Bodies, and the big thriller right now is Gone Girl.
