It's August, with a few more weeks of summery weather. If you're lucky, that might mean some lazy days off, some time at the beach or a few afternoons on the porch with a good book.

Great summer reads can make this brief season feel a little more relaxing, or depending on your literary preferences, more adventurous or more educational. We get some reading suggestions from two people who spend a lot of time thinking about what makes a good book.
