Looking for something a little off the beaten path to kick off your summer reading?

The staff at Publishers Weekly have put together a list of their recommendations, which include novels, non-fiction, essays, poetry, graphic novels, short stories, memoir – something for every taste! I will definitely be picking up a copy of Asperger’s Children: the Origins of Autism in Nazi Vienna to fill my insatiable curiosity for medical history.

Whether you choose to read these books or pick some others, remember to sign up for our Summer Reading Program to earn a chance to win one of our prize packages including memberships at the Adler Planetarium or Driehaus Museum, or $100 gift cards to Barnes and Noble, AMC Theaters, or Twins Gyros/Sweet Oasis.
