Our complete Summer Reading List won’t launch until the beginning of June, but here’s a sneak peek at a few titles in bookstores now that would be perfect for Memorial Day weekend.

We were lucky to spend last Thursday through Saturday in Georgia’s scenic Lake Country on Lake Oconee, visiting Milledgeville, Greensboro and Madison.

Nell Dickerson’s followup to “Gone” again includes photographs Southern homes, only this time with man’s best friend as the star.

The best Gatsby links from the week, plus a Gatsby companion reading list, review of two books about Zelda Fitzgerald, the Gatsby Character Map, menu and cocktail recipes, video from Stephen Colbert’s Gatsby Book Club and new fiction in Southern Voice by a man who lives on Zelda Road. Happy Literary Friday, Gatsby style!

Sure, now is a great time to re-read “The Great Gatsby” or read it for the first time so you know what everyone’s talking about, but if you want to further your Fitzgerald knowledge, there are several other books out just in time for the movie.
