Npr top 100 books of all time

“The Fall of the Princes,” “Eileen,” “Hold Still,” — we’re talking best summer reads of 2015.

Summertime — if you’re lucky, if you’re determined, if your book bag doesn’t get soaked at the lake, the beach, the pool, the hydrant — is a great time for reading.

Lose yourself in a great story. Let your mind travel whether or not you leave the porch. We want to be swept up, swept away, overtaken, enlightened and, yes, massively entertained. If it’s timely and new, so much the better.

This summer, the books are raining down onto tablets and shelves. We’ve got three great readers with us to share their top picks.
