Summer reading, some of which I did at the beach. In this case, Holden Beach, down in North Carolina.

Those of you who have read more than one of these notes, you'll see that we've been reading a lot of thrillers, particularly by Daniel Silva, Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and Alan Furst. If you have read and liked Erik Larson's 2011 book, In the Garden of Beasts, I think you'd particularly enjoy Alan Furst's books. Furst sets his books in Europe in the 1930s. His characters are afraid that terrible things are going to happen, but most of them don't know for sure what we all know - the Nazis are coming.
