Beach Bag Books: My Summer Reading List

I just got back from a bike ride and even though I'm in my 30s now, every time I get on my bike and take a ride at dusk, I am immediately transported to 1985 and those balmy summer evenings full of fireflies in the Atlanta of my childhood. My other summer childhood passion was reading, and so tonight I am inspired to sit down and create a list of books I want to read this summer. There is a healthy combination of fun and substance in this list, I think. Here's what I've got so far:

White Teeth by Zadie Smith

Digging to America by Anne Tyler

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
