June 29, 2001 --- What is your guilty pleasure beach book?

ROSpring@aol.com
Tara Road by Maeve Binchy. It lets me leave the real world and exist in a fantasy one.

What better book than The Summerhouse by Jude Deveraux? It definitely qualifies as a page-turner and deals with three women friends turning 40 on the same day. They recall lost loves and get a chance at what-if.

LUSTY BUSTIES...
Jude Deveraux, Diane Gabaldon, Jan Krentz, Kathleen Woodiwiss, and the range of slightly erotic romance novels... I mainly read mysteries, nonfiction, science fiction, horror ... so sometimes for mind candy.... Lusty busties!!

Last summer it was Lip Service by M.J. Rose....I had it in e-book format so it was perfect for reading after dark. Actually my daytime beach book was The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood --- not a guilty pleasure book at all but I found it perfect for my beach book --- engrossing and one I might not have given the time it needed in my everyday world. This summer I don't know yet...

I don't have a guilty pleasure beach book. I have no guilt whatsoever in reading anything I want.

Guilty pleasure? Harry Potter. I so desperately want to finish The Chamber of Secrets, but I'm embarrassed to openly read it on my travels to and from work every day. So I suppose the beach would be the ideal place. Although, I must confess that I'm not feeling as guilty as before. I've since noticed a middle-aged business man blatantly reading it on the train this past week, while the Wall Street Journal was tucked under his arm, unread of course.

Sullvan's Island by Dorothea Benton Frank

My guilty pleasure book would be anything Jackie Collins or a tell-all Hollywood story. I don't have to think too much and I can live in a fantasy world for a little while. Ideally read while lounging on the beach. I wouldn't read 'em anywhere else.

ARTEMIS FOWL by Eoin Colfer
I got this book for my nephew's birthday (huge Harry Potter fan) and thought I'd read it first. I loved it and hope Colfer writes more adventures featuring Artemis and his bodyguard/manservant Butler. It is like the dark side of Harry Potter, but very funny! Artemis Fowl is a 12-year-old prodigy who uses his immense intellect to try to restore the family fortune through underhanded but ingenious means and in so doing, creates havoc in the land of Fairy.

Anything from Jackie Collins!

My pleasure book is currently Justine, a masterwork, by Lawrence Durrell.

Tim Dorsey ! Florida Roadkill was hysterical! I am now about half way through Hammerhead Ranch Motel and find it just as comical and intriguing. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of Orange Crush, Dorsey's latest. Of course, living in Florida, I feel like I know or at least recognize at least half the characters in Dorsey's books but that just makes them all the more fun to read!

Any books by Janet Evanovich
