Has there been a better time to go on a reading binge? Join my virtual book club.
I love the concept of Book Club. Exchanging recommendations with friends is always fun and gets me reading books I may not normally pick up. I typically read in cycles, one month I’ll finish half a dozen, the next, none at all, so, to remain consistent, I’m making a real effort to read at least four books a month which sounds manageable.
To kick things off, here’s a selection of four books I’ve read and recommend.
An American Marriage, Tayari Jones – An intimate glimpse into the relationship of newlyweds Celestial and Roy, whose lives are town apart when Roy is wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit. Check out the NYT Sunday Book Review here. Print version.
Nothing to See Here, Kevin Wilson – An enjoyable and unique page turner about friendship, loyalty and responsibility as depicted through wacky characters including twin children who spontaneously combust (literally). The NYT’s glowing review here. Print version.
The Devil in the White City, Erik Larson – A historical non-fiction book based on real characters an events. The story follows the Daniel Burnham, architect of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and H.H. Holmes, the serial killer who exploits the fair to find his victims. Print version.
The Intermission, Elyssa Friedland – After six years of marriage, Jonathan and Cass, a seemingly perfect couple, take a 6 month marital ‘intermission’ to determine if they’re better together or apart. Print version.
