If you are looking for a good read, try one of the 25 novels below. According to the library's circulation statistics these are the most popular novels that our patrons read last year. Best of all you probably won't have to go on a long waiting list to read them. Many are probably just sitting on the shelf waiting for you to grab them. There's a pretty wide variety here, too. Something for most peoples' tastes. And, of course, the obligatory five titles by James Patterson. His frequency on the best-seller lists is why one of the squares on our adult Summer Reading bingo cards reads "Any Novel Not by James Patterson." Have you started filling out your bingo card yet?
