60 Books to Read for Beach Season

Wow! We absolutely, really don't have time to put together this quick list, but let's give it a try. The image you see is from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a place we've never been to. And, one of the first books on the list will be from Martin Amis, one of my favorite novelists/writers who alas died over the weekend. As always, enjoy and all the best....!!!!
