hey /lit/,

My summer job starts soon, and i'm trying to get a good reading list together. I'm a lifeguard, so I have lots of time to kill. I'm open to most stuff, but i'm looking for books that are very narrative.

The 2 books that i've already decided on are "East of Eden" and "Travels With Charley" because Steinbeck is awesome.

pic related: its the third book i've decided on. It's not very narrative, but i loved it the first time i read it, so i'd like to read it again
