Vacation Beach Reads.
Vacation starts this coming Friday for me. I get five days on a beach in the West Indies. All I need to make this qualify as a good vacation vacation are:
I need at least three to four books to devour while on vacation. I have gotten a few recommendations from people (the Fifty Shades of Gray series), but reading the synopses do nothing for me. But while walking the aisles of Barnes and Noble yesterday, I found two classics that caught my eye...
Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" and Ernest Hemingway's memoir A Moveable Feast."
Truth be told... The Hemingway book caught my eye because I love Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris." One of my favorite movies of all time.
I still need at least one book to get me through those five days. I have downloaded the first Game of Thrones book. So maybe that will suffice. But if you have any recommendations for me, please leave them in the comments.

I just started The Yard and Enchantments but so far so good. Oh and I did also just pick up GCB - I needed some junk thrown in for good measure.
