In the summer, I want books I can sweat with. To me, that means sexy stuff and classic literature, give your brain and your libido a workout. This year, I want to try the new Claire Dederer memoir, Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning (smart and sexy: double points) and the novel Girls on Fire by Robin Wasserman.
For classics, I've got Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and William Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust on my list. And I always like a few graphic novels as well: Sunburning by Keiler Roberts and Boundless by Jillian Tamaki look good (Tamaki's This One Summer was great).
If I hadn't already read it, I would cruise in the car and listen to the audio version Bruce Springsteen's memoir, Born to Run. But I've already read it (it was excellent) so now I'll drive around with "Prove It All Night" on repeat all summer.

I just finished your book, and I loved it! I think you're hilarious, and I loved your insights about books and your recommendations. I wanted to ask if you've read The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker. I think it fits into your favorite literary genre. Your book made me laugh (a lot), nod my head in agreement, and cry (your wishes for Anne Frank). Thank you so much! ?
