ur Twitter-fried collective attention span notwithstanding, the summer reading list is the rare school-days holdover that many of us actively work to keep in our lives. Of course, whatever deleterious effect social media may have on our ability to focus on the books on that list is balanced by the assist it provides in allowing us to brag about them.
