My wife who I would not categorize as a shoot 'em up fan, absolutely loves Lee Child books, she burns through them in a couple of days. Everytime I get in her car, Jack Reacher is up to something.

For me this summer:

Sag Harbor - Colson Whitehead
Race Matters - Cornel West
The Killing Joke - Alan Moore/Brian Bolland
....and for pure mind numbing pleasure - The Dirt
