A Beach Bag of Highbrow Books



Highbrow Books for the Beach. How could I resist taking a look at these suggestions posted on Flavorwire. Although I won't be going to the seashore any time soon, you know that I can't resist a book list. 

Of the twenty books recommended to get lost in on a beach towel, there were five that intrigued me. 

Night Film by Barbara Pessl: A literary thriller.

Broken Harbor by Tanya French: Another literary thriller.

Equilateral by Ken Kalfus: A tale of stars and Mars based on an historical incident of a 19th century astronomer trying to make contact with life on other planets.

The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell: A black comedy of murder in Prohibition-era Manhattan.

Babayaga by Toby Barlow: Spies, intrigue and witches in 1950s Paris.

Check out the whole list. Have you read any of those 
recommended? What books will you be putting in your beach bag this summer?
