Dear readers,
Let’s not get tangled up in technicalities. While the calendar says summer won’t begin until the solstice next month, spiritually the season arrives this weekend here in the United States. And I’m too impatient to sit on our recommendations for what to read over the next few months — to deprive you of them would simply be criminal.
Whether you like novels or nonfiction, I can all but guarantee you’ll find something on our lists. You can save any books you’d like to read and keep track of them on the “Your Reading List” part of this page.
My colleague Elisabeth Egan also wrote about the season’s best beach reads, whatever that term means to you. Here in New York it’ll be too chilly to consider a beach excursion or even an afternoon spent reading in the park, but hopefully the books she suggests can transport you to a sunnier state of mind.
And finally, we’re still collecting reader questions to answer on an upcoming episode of the Book Review podcast, so if any spring to mind, shoot them my way by emailing books@nytimes.com.
See you next week.
