Picture yourself in a hammock in the shade, on a warm beach,
on a boat with a book in your hands; no demands; no deadlines just comfort and
escape. Not on your summer
schedule? If the best you can hope for
is stolen minutes with a book between tests and homework; on a bus or in a car
pool, snatches of reading between responses to countless demands and requests
then you need a beach read more than ever.
Here are some books that will fill the bill:
1.
Watership Down by Richard Adams
