To get to Hen dricks, take Franklin Boulevard going north, turn left on Orchard Street, follow the signs, park and enjoy. One more good sun spot to visit is the Mt. Pisgah Aboretum. This is 208 acres of flowers, trees and meadow. This is an area that doesn’t require a whole lot of anything to find a perfect spot to read. Whether its streams or grass, Mt. Pisgah has it all. To find the park, take 1-5 south then take Exit 189. Take a left onto Franklin Boulevard, then right on Franklin Boulevard East and final ly a right on Seavey Loop Road. A little closer to home is Spencer’s Butte. This area will re quire some physical exertion, but it is pretty minimal and well worth it. There’s a path leading to the top of the butte, where all of the Eugene area can be viewed. This is a good spot to read and get a suntan/bum at the same time. There aren’t very many shaded areas on the top of Spencer’s, but it is still a serene place to read and enjoy the view. To get there, head east on Chambers Street until you reach the sign. Bring sunscreen and water. If you don’t want to drive at all, just head to campus and pick a spot — there are a lot of areas all through campus that are enjoyable for reading and relaxing.

The novel gives readers a hopeful view of heaven, where 14-year-old Susie Salmon watches the drama of her family’s life unfold after being brutally raped and murdered. The No. 1 position has been held by a recent entrant since its debut two weeks ago: “The Rem nant: On the Brink of Armaged don,” by Tim LaHaye, uses a straightforward Christian plot and message to propel its apocalyptic thrills. This book is the 10th in stallment in LaHaye’s “Left Be hind” series. After 19 weeks on the list, “The Nanny Diaries,” by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, is still going strong at No. 4 with its fictional behind-the-diapers look at an elite, dysfunctional New York City family. Keeping the gossip about elite New Yorkers alive, Danielle Steele’s latest hit, “Sunset in St. Tropez,” offers soap-opera-on-the beach fans another healthy dose of platinum living and relationship intrigue. The book debuted at No. 5 three weeks ago and currently sits at No. 7. Finally, the hardcover summer wouldn’t be complete without sus pense. James Patterson and Peter de Jonge’s “The Beach House,” cur rently at No. 3 after five weeks, of fers a classic rich-versus-poor tale set in the Hamptons, mixed with murder, revenge and lunches served cold. Stephen L. Carter offers a tad more literary (and long, at 650 pages) thriller, “The Emperor of Ocean Park,” which tells the tale of Talcott Garland, an African Ameri can law professor at an Ivy League university who must unravel his dead father’s dark secrets without endangering his wife’s chance at a judicial nomination. It stands at No. 5 after six weeks. Nonfiction books also have some true summer winners this year, not the least of which is Ann Coulter’s “Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right.” Coul ter has a right-wing, shock-jock schtick, and it sells. Her most re cent fame came after the Sept. 11 attacks, when she purposefully pushed people’s buttons by say ing, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” Coulter’s book debuted at No. 1 on Publisher Weekly’s hardcover nonfiction bestseller list three weeks ago and has remained there since. The West Coast shows its bias here, though: The Los Angeles Times bestseller list has Michael Moore’s latest skewering of corpo rate America, “Stupid White Men ... and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation,” in the top slot while Coulter languishes at No. 3. This year’s nonfiction crop also includes self-help, one of the genre’s mainstays: At No. 2 on the chart after 33 weeks is “Self Mat ters: Creating Your Life from the In side Out,” by Phillip C. McGraw (also known as Oprah’s “Dr. Phil”), which asks readers to identify their life’s 10 defining moments. “Who Moved My Chuese?” by Spencer Johnson ofh .s diff rent personality “types” — Snifi and Scurry, and Hem and Haw — seeking out their heart’s desire (the cheese, in this parable). Johnson’s book is at No. 3 after 134 weeks. Summer book sales wouldn’t be complete, however, without mass market paperbacks. Readers tote them on planes, back them in beach bags and nuzzle them by the fire. The summer breakout is “A Bend in the Road” by Nicholas Sparks, which debuted in the top spot two weeks ago and stayed there, thanks to its sudsy and com plex love story where everyone in the town of New Bern learns to be come a better person. Rebecca Wells’ “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,” a gush ing tale of Southern femininity and family, is proving a summer hit as well, in the No. 2 spot after nine weeks. The final installment in Nora Roberts’ Three Sisters trilogy, “Face the Fire,” rides a seaside setting, ro mance and magic to the No. 5 posi tion after seven weeks. Mary Higgins Clark isn’t on the mass-market list this summer (she was briefly on the hardcover fic tion list with “Mount Vernon Love Story”), but thrillers are still, er, thrilling. “Hemlock Bay,” by Catherine Coulter, and “Whisper of Evil,” by Kay Hooper, are the big summer entries in the mass-market thriller category, and both are doing well. Coulter’s romantic thriller again focuses on her married FBI agent characters who, in this volume, must stop satanic child-killing twins. Hooper’s book is the second in her paranormal “Evil” mystery series, and it again delves into psy chic powers and a string of mur ders. Both books have been in the top five since they debuted. Coul ter is currently at No. 3 and Hoop er is at No. 4.
