Summer’s almost here and I’m working on my summer reading
list. I generally like to reread some of my favorite novels over the summer, in
addition to new works. I’ve already started on a few.
Old Favorites I’m Rereading
- Edgar Allen Poe – short stories like The Gold Bug
and The Purloined Letter.
- Hawaiian Mythology – I have a collection of these legends
I intend to reread again.
- Alexandre Dumas – The Three Musketeers, because I’ll
always love Dumas’ work.
New Favorites I’m Reading
- Agatha Christie – Poirot mysteries, such as Dumb
Witness and
Appointment with Death.
- Dashiell Hammett – his noir mysteries, pretty much any of
the few I haven’t read yet.
- Maybe some more Lawrence Block, specially his Scudder
mysteries (if I haven’t read them all).
Yeah, I guess I’m on a bit of a detective noir kick at
the moment, but hey, even a “dark” summer can be a fun one.
How about you? What types of books are you looking
forward to perusing this summer?
