Summer Reading 2008 by Ron Klopfanstein, planetutica.org

Summertime is a great time to read about the place where the sun always shines. Setting a book in Los Angeles has almost always guaranteed a book will feature characters and stories with an aura of a perversely seductive seediness blooming in the overheated environment of glamour, desperation and the endless cycle of great hope turning to bottomless hopelessness.

There’s still plenty of time to read these four books from my summer reading list. The new Jackie Collins blockbuster Married Lovers, Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey, High Life by Matthew Stokoe and the most eagerly anticipated non-fiction read this summer Barbara Walters’ triumphant Audition.
