Book Web

By Stacy Vogel ( Contact ) June 12, 2008 - 2:31 p.m.

Every week, I check the Washington Post online for Short Stack, a weekly list from the paper's book section.

Every Thursday or Friday morning, the book editors post a new list of books -- recent examples include four books that honor American veterans, five books that include memorable graduation scenes and five books with a moral purpose.

This week's list is "five books that have summer written all over them." I feel like reading every single one with all this rain coming down, especially the first one, "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury.

I love reading what other people think about books: on Amazon, publisher's Web sites or in the comments on my own blog. Does anyone have any suggestions for other places on the Web to read about books?
