Elizabeth started a winter-reading thread earlier, so to continue on that...
What do you consider best for summer reading?
In Finland, the libraries report a huge increase in loans from the mystery/thriller/detective novel section for summers: it seems that those genres are the choicest to bring along to the summer cottage or the beach. I kind of understand: when it's really hot I don't feel like delving into something really heavy, and a lot of detective novels are not too difficult to follow, yet are interesting.
This summer I have been mostly reading all kinds of non-fiction, dealing with how to raise children without a TV. Also, I've been reading about crocheting and knitting (not that I want to knit at a beach). It's basically stuff that I thought I'd like to know more about but haven't had the energy to look into during working weeks.
