Morg Lorgland's 2021 Aspirant Summer Reading

(The thumbnail art's by Satchely and VelinquenT.)
It's that time of year again. Birds are chirping, flora grow verdant, and summer stalks round the corner. So we must have a two thousand twenty-one aspirant list of warm-weather reading. I think there's a kind of magic to books in the summertime, don't you? Somehow it recalls childhood. The time of year many of us would least want or need a book --- the day is so splendid --- is made all the more decadent. A dryad in the stacks. Plus it's too turgid or hot to crack open a spine and stay focused, yet we do it anyway. I think it's the defiance of reading in summer which gives it a special charm.
Happy pages to you.
