Summer Reading

It's the time of year when Minnesotans love to sit outdoors and enjoy the great weather, and many of us prefer to do it with a book in hand, whether it's on the deck or by the lake.

Today on Midmorning, Kerri Miller discussed the best bets for summer reads with Washington Post book editor Ron Charles and Los Angeles Times book reviewer Sarah Weinman. Their conversation resulted in a list of books they (and Midmorning callers) think would make for time well spent.

So what are you paging through this summer? And what would you vote for as the perfect summer read? (My choice? Anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.)
