Goodreads asked Keith Steinbaum:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Keith Steinbaum I've just started a wonderfully comprehensive book by Martin Grams, Jr. on The Twilight Zone, the famous television series from the late 50's and early 60's. The complete title is, 'The Twilight Zone - Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic.' As a kid, this was easily one of my favorite shows to watch, and to this day, when I catch one of Rod Serling's episodes (the creator and main writer for the show), I find myself mesmerized by the storylines. Dated? Sure, it is now, but the show was quite innovative and far ahead of it's time, exposing a part of the American psyche for that era as well. Grams' book not only reviews every episode but whatever background details might be of interest to the reader/viewer.

Next on my list is the new novel by my favorite modern day author, Dennis Lehane, entitled, 'Since We Fell.' It's such a wonderful feeling for me to read a book that offers a strong engagement in the story and it's characters, and for me, Lehane is a master at this. This is the reason I've read all his stories.

My own forthcoming book, You Say Goodbye, is currently being professionally edited, and I expect to spend a sizable part of my usual summer reading time completing the final version, but once I complete Lehane's novel, I'd like to find the opportunity this summer to delve into another Ken Follett literary experience which has always been an enjoyable journey for me. I don't know which book yet, so I'll do some exploring first before deciding.
