Well, I'm hardly ever outside for longer than it takes to walk to my car, anyway, so I may be a sort of outlier (I'm Irish-blooded, so I have an excuse! Sunblock is expensive!), but I never really understood the term beach-read. Vacation-read, sure. But beach? I dunno.
I always wondered how many people actually read specifically on the beach. Of course, I know, I'm splitting hairs and overanalyzing, but just for my sake, please do mention if you actually read
on the beach.
