    Abebooks' Retro Summer Reading List

    Not much to add other than Abebooks is a great site for locating used books in a wild variety of prices and conditions. I usually go for a combination of lowest cost book with lowest cost shipping, cuz I don't care if the cover is mangled.

    Also, Callaghan's book is indeed excellent if you like that whole Paris/'20s scene with Hemingway and Ford Madox Ford, et al. And I enjoyed Music For Chameleons but can't recall a thing about it.

    That Summer in Paris by Morley Callaghan

    The Red and the Green by Iris Murdoch

    Death is a Lonely Business by Ray Bradbury

    Night and Day by Virginia Woolf

    Setting Free the Bears by John Irving

    Trustee From The Toolroom by Nevil Shute

    At Bertram's Hotel by Agatha Christie

    Music for Chameleons by Truman Capote

    The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck

    A Month in the Country by J L Carr, (yes, he of Steeple Sinderby fame). A lovely book. Short too.
