I am taking a trip to the Cape soon, and I would love to have some reading material that fits the scenery (think coastal, lighthouses, beaches, or sea voyages located around the northeast or even Europe). Any genre is welcome but I prefer fiction, contemporary or classic, romance, thriller, maybe horror. Definitely like a moody story focused on the complexities of the human condition.
For reference, authors I like:
Sally Rooney
Margaret Atwood
Albert Camus
Stephen King
Barbara Kingsolver
Books I like:
Intermezzo
Normal People
The Edible Woman
Pride and Prejudice
MadAddam Series
Alas, Babylon
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Silo Series
The Plague
Dandelion Wine
Library at Mount Char
Lost in the Garden
Frankenstein
House of Leaves

A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett was a pretty fun, basic read. I read it while living on a boat so it added to the ambience. There’s a line I still remember 15 years later, “she lit a joint the size of a tampon.” So not the world’s greatest wordsmith but still a good time.
The Dead of Summer by Ryan La Sala
