Summer reading for Genreville

This from Genreville, the Publishers Weekly science fiction, fantasy, and horror blog:

I’m starting to think about my selections for PW’s summer staff picks issue, and that has me wondering what SF/F fans like to read in the summer as opposed to any other time of the year. Traditionally we hide in basements rather than going out in the sun, so what’s our equivalent of beach reading? If you’re planning a long trip, maybe it’s a good time to plow through a lengthy epic fantasy series, especially if you can put it on your e-reader rather than filling your luggage with thousand-page tomes. I personally enjoy reading horror novels during summer thunderstorms. How about you? And for those in the southern hemisphere, what kinds of books will keep you company through the long winter nights?
