Summer Reading: That's a Novel Idea!
Summer beach reading is the perfect opportunity to read the classics at your leisure. Whether you go techie with an e-reader or savor every turn of the page, don every interruption with the perfect dog-ear; nothing is better than getting lost in a timeless novel. Lose yourself in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Transport yourself into the Depression with The Grapes of Wrath. March to the different beat of Jack Keroauc’s On the Road. Or hang out with Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights.
These classics used to be required reading in many high schools and colleges. If these books are not on your home or digital bookshelf, they should definitely be contenders for your summer reading pleasure. Rediscover and be an advocate for the classics for a new generation and encourage those who haven't yet to read these timeless novels, savoring every word!
