Starting this January, we invite you to join us as we read one book per month from the list of 12 books we recommended in our essay “How Reading Books Saved Us During the Pandemic” (to read the full story, please click here). Each of these books will be featured in our website’s Gallery every month of this year.
These 12 books are some of our all-time favorites – books which we have read and re-read many times, and which we rediscovered during those long stay-at-home periods. We hope that they will do for you what they did for us – inform, entertain, move and inspire:
Remarkable Creatures (Tracy Chevalier)
The Uncommon Reader (Alan Bennet)
Anne of Green Gables (Lucy Maud Montgomery)
The Future of Life (Edward O. Wilson)
The Hours (Michael Cunningham)
84, Charing Cross Road (Helene Hanff)
Possession (A.S. Byatt)
Thank You For Smoking (Christopher Buckley)
Walden, Or Life In The Woods (Henry David Thoreau)
Emma (Jane Austen)
The Historian (Elizabeth Kostova)
All The Light We Cannot See (Anthony Doerr)
Happy reading, guys!
