An Answer to a Frequently Asked Question

August 19, 2008 | 1

Lots of people I know seem to be going on vacation in the next few weeks, and not a few of them have asked me to recommend some books to tote along to the beach or woods. It has occurred to me that I get these requests quite often so I thought it might be a good idea to put some of my favorite books all in one place for easy access. So, if you are one of those people who might be interested in a book recommendation, check out the list I just made on Amazon.

A few caveats: This list contains only books I have personally read (even though I have often been known to recommend books I haven’t read based on what I’ve been hearing from my trusted fellow readers). This list contains only fiction (I may do a non-fiction list at some point). These are just the books I came up with while sleepily sitting at my desk this morning; I’ll add to the list as I think of more books that I have liked (and in the future, as I read more). Enjoy!
