Summer Reading: Great Reads For Post 50s

Even before the thermostat cracks 70, it seems like every entertainment blog and morning news segment is buzzing about the hottest summer movie releases. Hollywood has a lot riding on the season's brand of explosive action, with plots more likely to be moved along with TNT than character growth (and no, The Hulk's rage-induced girth doesn't count).

For others the summer months means the chance to curl up with a good book, whether it be a frothy summer release meant for the beach or a good classic that you've always meant to finish but could never get around to. If you fall in this camp, then have we got the summer reading list for you. Any of these page turners will be a great addition to your bookshelf or ebook reader. Take a look at our summer reading suggestions in the slideshow below and let us know what you're planning on reading this summer in the comments.
