Calling All Book Lovers

In just days we head to the beach where I know I will get to curl up every afternoon for an hour or two and read.

Send me your book recommendations, dear friends, the books you just could not put down.

I am open to anything--fiction or non--, trashy or literate, short and light so you can toss it in a beach bag, or so fat and heavy you could knock yourself out if you fell asleep reading it.

On the list so far:

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
Che (in the middle of this massive and brilliant biography, but determined to get through)
Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, by Stieg Larsson
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis

Tell me, dear reader, what else?
