Looking for a new book to occupy your beach time this summer? Here are my picks for great summer reads.

Fiction

• The Gate House
  Nelson DeMille
• The Glass Rainbow
  James Lee Burke
• Blue-Eyed Devil
  Robert Parker
• The Overton Window
  Glenn Beck

All these novels are good beach or plane reads. They move along and entertain without being stupid. Burke is my personal favorite fiction writer.

Non-Fiction

• Get Capone
  Jonathan Eig
• Steinbrenner
  Bill Madden
• Willie Mays
  William Hirsch

A crime book and two baseball tomes. It's summer and the living is easy.
