Regardless of how you read — be it traditional hardback, electronic device, or smart phone — summer is the perfect time to retreat in the shade with a good book. theGrio has put together 15 titles (so you don’t have to.) Our summer reading picks are diverse — including fiction, pop culture, and revelatory memoirs and biographies of some of our biggest cultural icons of the past half century.

Some choices include: Jay Z, Kathryn Stockett, Malcolm X A Life Of Reinvention, Manning Marable, Sapphire, The Help, and Tyrese Gibson
