Action! Romance! Social Justice!

"Summer reading often consists of mindless page-turners, equally riveting and vacuous. So as a public service I'm delighted to offer a list of mindful page-turners — so full of chase scenes, romance and cliffhangers that you don't mind the redeeming social value. These are 10 triumphs of fiction, both fun to read and significant for literary or historical reasons. I guarantee pleasure and also bragging rights at your next cocktail party. And if your kids read these, I bet they'll ace the SAT." (Nicholas Kristof, NYT)
