Goodreads asked Martin O'Brien:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Martin O'Brien Books on order for my summer break in France – where I'll be doing some research in Marseilles for my next Jacquot story – include IDAHO, by Emily Ruskovich; RAZOR GIRL, by Carl Hiaasen; LINCOLN IN THE BARDO, by George Saunders; THE BRITTLE STAR, a debut novel by Davina Langdale; and THE SEVENTH FUNCTION OF LANGUAGE, by Laurent Binet, author of HHHH, one of my favourite history books. I'll also be taking along my Kindle so I can re-read my collections of Dominick Dunne, Jay McInerney, and the wonderful Thomas Eidson... all three are great story tellers!
