30.5 - Teri-k's task: Good Old Summertime?

Option 1: At it's worst, summer here means opening my front door to the kind of heat and humidity that makes the outdoors feel like an out-of-control sauna.
For this option, the title and subtitle of the book you read must contain all the letters in SAUNA, including two A's.

Why Are Orangutans Orange? - New Scientist (all the letters are in the word "Orangutans")

Option 3: Finally, there's something about rising temperatures that makes me want to switch from my usual driving music and head down the highway belting out the songs I sang along to as a girl. I may not play my sound system loud enough to blast anyone, but I do turn it up over the sound of the AC and play lots of good old-fashioned, classic rock-and-roll.
This final option lets you put on some classic rock, or other music of your choice, and read a classic genre book. Because I feel a classic really should be older than I am, it must have been originally published before 1956 as well as have the genre listing "classic(s)", which can be embedded.
