Random Reads From Summers Past

Our maverick English Teacher goes through old journals and Goodreads, and comes up with 150+ works of fiction that made his summers that much more enjoyable. Once again, he is struck by how few of them are part of the canon and how many are examples of popular (or genre) fiction. Anyone looking for a pleasant diversion this summer would do well to take a look.
