Goodreads asked David Joy:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

David Joy I think the big book that's on everyone's list this summer as far as crime fiction goes is Don Winslow's new novel The Force. He's definitely one of the most talented people working in the genre, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that. I'm also looking forward to Ace Atkins' new Quinn Colson novel The Fallen. That's one of the few series that I read. I've read a lot of great books recently, a lot of great poetry. I loved Rebecca Gayle Howell's new collection American Purgatory. There was a novel by Jim Minick that came out recently called Fire Is Your Water that I've been meaning to get my hands on. Frank Bill has a new novel that's supposed to come out this fall called The Savage that I've read and loved. Also looking forward to seeing what Wiley Cash has been up to, he's got a new one coming out called The Last Ballad. I'm looking forward to all of those. Hope that helps.
