Day 2 - I'm chronicling what these vacationers here at Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina are reading.
Beach reads are classicly trashy novels, so these are in no way recommendations - just a survey of the first 10 readers and their books over three days.
1. Frankenstein, Book One: Prodigal Son
by Dean Koontz. Dr. Frankenstein having survived into the 21st century is the premise of this 2005 thriller from Master Koontz.
2. Star Bright! : A Christmas Story
by Andrew M. Greeley. A Christmas story at the beach. Go figure.
3. Mamista
by Len Deighton. Oil, revolution, and political conflict in a South American jungle.
4. The Bourne Legacy
by Robert Ludlum. Jason Bourne again from Ludlum's best-selling novels and the movies starring Matt Damon.
5. Marker
by Robin Cook. Medical thriller.
6. A Million Little Pieces
by James Frey. Frey's memoir of his recovery from crippling drug addiction.
7. The Edge
by Catherine Coulter. From Coulter's FBI series of suspense novels.
8. London: The Novel
by Edward Rutherford. Classified as young adult, but this historical fiction of London is an 800 page undertaking.
9. Prey
by Michael Crichton. Nanotechnology and Michael Crichton's political stance on global warming.
10. The Brethren
by John Grisham. Let's see... lawyers? murder? mystery? Something like that.
