To celebrate the beginning of a new season, TIME editors have
compiled a list of our favorite summer reads from the past 40 years.
What defines a summer read? To us, it’s the kind of buzzed-about book
that seems to flourish in warmer months, equally ubiquitous on beaches
and in subway cars. (Not all summer reads are mindless page-turners—one
of our selected titles is a brainy mystery that touches on medieval
studies and semiotics.) Once you’ve perused the list, take our poll and
help us crown the All-Time, Ultimate Summer Read.
And we acknowledge that our list is by no means definitive—though we
think it’s a darn good representation of 40 years of seasonal tomes. So
we invite you to help fill in our gaps—to correct what you might think
are our egregious oversights—by telling us which books should join our
list. Tweet your picks—or share what you plan on reading this
summer—using the hashtag #SummerBooks. We’ll post the winner of this poll alongside a collection of your suggestions next Friday, June 27.
And now, on to our list…
