Det er godt nok lidt sent, men bøger kan jo læses hele året.

Over there har en radiostation fået 16000 lyttere til at vælge, hvilke bøger de ville tage med på stranden/ferien. De afgav 136000 stemmer og det kom der en 100 best books liste ud af. Den er godt nok på engelsk, men så vidt jeg kan se, så er mange af dem oversat til dansk.

Listen har jeg hentet her efter først at have set den omtalt her på bloggen Happines is.
Der er mange klassikere, romantiske bøger og tunge litterære drenge.
God inspiration.
Jeg har skrevet den danske titel i dem, jeg lige kunne genkende. Hvis du ikke lige kan finde ud af, hvad bogen hedder på dansk, så giv lyd, så prøver jeg at hjælpe.

Mine egne feriebøger var i år Som offer til Morlock af Åsa Larsson og Portræt af en spion af Daniel Silva. Bestemt anbefalelsesvædige.
God læselyst og god fredag.
