You can see a bigger list of my favorite books/books I’d recommend here.
I haven’t read This Side of Paradise yet, but I love F. Scott Fitzgerald! That’s a classic. If you’re into other classics, in the list I liked above I discuss a lot of Russian writers and their works - those are my favorite! - so I would definitely check those out.
Otherwise, I think Mary Kubica’s books are amazing summer reads! Pretty Baby just released last month, it’s a serious page turner, really psychological and deep. I’m also reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series at the moment, the fourth one comes out next month!
I know it’s not a classic or even fiction, but I can’t say enough good things about Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I’ve read it twice now, and I’m sure I’ll return to it again.
Maybe I should mentioned that I think there’s a fall read you might really enjoy… it’s by someone you might know :) THIS!
I hope that helps! Happy reading!
