I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.
Turns out, The Big House by Colt is the perfect summer read. It's the story of an old family summer home on Cape Cod and takes me away to the beach and boats every time I pick it up. What are some of your favorite summer books?
Aww, poor Don. You're right, everything is about you. I don't know that I have a "summer read." I have only a few (only one springs to mind) time-sensitive books. I'd just really like to have a summer where I can do a little reading of my own choice instead of slogging through stuff for school. Even when it's good stuff for school.
I don't have a "summer reading" book. I just read more stuff. But I suppose sometimes I read a chick book, if that counts as summer reading. But I do that in winter too.
Hmm, I don't play this game very well, Christine :D
Hmm, never really thought about it. I think of "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman as a summer book, but that might have more to do with the setting than when I read it.

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I try to read it every summer.
Yes, quintessential pick, Don. Thank you. Any others?
OK, so I don't comment (last post) and 10 people can't wait to chime in. Now I answer and -crickets-. It's enough to give a guy a complex.
