For those who love snuggling up with a good book, reading is the pinnacle of relaxation.

Whether you plan to read this summer while lounging in a hammock, sitting on a sandy shore, or staying indoors next to a window basking in the sunlight with the added comfort of your air conditioner, you'll still need one thing: the perfect summer read.
