How long do you have to devote yourself to a book? Do you want something you can dip in and out of, like a plunge pool, or the all-encompassing embrace of a saga you simply can’t put down, like Kate Atkinson’s Shrines of Gaiety? Do you want something gossipy and juicy? (In which case, you need a celebrity memoir. Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died is a standout.) Something funny? Something action-packed? Maybe even something funny and action-packed, such as the Richard Osman murder mysteries. Something goal-oriented to ring in the new year? Something smart? Maybe even something sad? Summer reading doesn’t have to be easy. Like all holidays – like all summers, really – summer reading is whatever you make of it.
