If you’re looking for a good book for the final weeks of summer, here are some recommendations. When asked what book they would bring to the beach with them this summer, our intrepid staff offered up the following:

Sisters ~ Danielle Steel
The Great Gatsby ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
Pillars of the Earth ~ Ken Follett
Town Like Alice ~ Nevil Shute
Annie Freeman’s Fabulous Traveling Funeral ~ Kris Radish
Like Water for Chocolate ~ Laura Esquival
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle ~ David Wroblewski
The Gargoyle ~ Andrew Davidson
A dozen Gourmet Magazines
Rising Tide ~ John M. Barry

One staff member replied, “Of course I would never bring a library book to the beach!”
