Two Great Summer Reads (That Are Even Better Together!)

When it comes to summer, one of the favorite pastimes is kicking back – on the beach, or by the pool – and reading a great book; but just because a book is a “great book” does not necessarily mean that it is a great summer book, as a great summer book should be short enough to be read in bits and pieces while being absorbing enough to keep you mesmerized. While there are certainly plenty of books that fit this description, here are two books in particular – and when you read these two books together, the effect will even be amplified!

One of these two books falls into the category of "classics" (after all, it is always best to blend a classic with a modern novel!), and you may have even ready it before; it is The Old Man and the Sea. Lots of high school students who have to read this book for class fail to grasp why it is so highly regarded – but read this book during a lazy summer day while relaxing by a pool or on the beach, and you will surely understand!

The modern novel that is such a tremendous compliment to The Old Man and the Sea is The Great Lenore, which received tremendous reviews upon its publication this summer. The Great Lenore is the story about a woman who is falsely reported dead, and who uses this as an opportunity to start a new life; the book is set along the beaches of Nantucket, and the ease of reading combined with the magnificent beauty of the story makes The Great Lenore the perfect book to take with you to the pool or the beach this summer.

You can find great deals on Amazon for both The Old Man and the Sea and The Great Lenore, and when you pick up these two titles and indulge in them during the summer, you will be able to understand exactly what people mean when they talk about their adventures reading those "perfect summer books"!
