Editor's Picks: Action-Packed Books for Summer

Books offer a unique entertainment experience because they are a two-way street. The author provides the script in the form of the book. The reader calls upon an inner artist -- essentially, an entire internalized motion picture production company -- creating the actors, the sets, and the exciting action set-pieces in in her or her mind.

It helps, of course to have the right books to make these experiences most like the movies. With that in mind, here's a selection that will beat any blockbuster you might sit through this summer. Some of these titles may be headed to the big screen, but if you read them now, you can have your own personal director's cut.
