| | | | | Summer is here, and we here at the Slate Book Review are looking forward to roasting out on a beach with a bagful of books by our side. Luckily the June issue of the SBR is here and full of great titles to help us out on that noble goal. Why does our day at the beach seem to go by so quickly, when days at work move so slowly? Find out in Paul Ford's review of Claudia Hammond's Time Warped. Are we fools if we think that there might be something bigger than erosion and ocean currents that made the majestic North Carolina beaches? Mark O'Connell explores the battle between reason and faith in his review of Curtis White's The Science Delusion. What are young, hip people reading while sitting, bearded or rompered, at the beach? Check out our curiously paired reviews of Tao Lin's Taipei and Marie Calloway's what purpose did i serve in your life. What are Slate staffers reading at the beach? We've got their summer reading picks. Send us an email if you have that Bantam Tinker, Tailor to give to Dan! Plus: Jennifer Weiner in defense of likable characters; Parul Sehgal on female desire; American Psycho's Patrick Bateman on sociopaths; an author-editor interview with bestselling YA novelist Sarah Dessen; and illustrations by the hilarious Jess Fink. Thanks for reading! | | |  | Culturebox | Jennifer Weiner
