No big holiday plans for a while, not in these days, unfortunately. But it doesn’t mean that we can’t plan ahead, at least in our heads for now. Let’s jump on the latest bandwagon and think about the books we would take with us to that proverbial desert island, or perhaps the resort in the photo here. Just like these readers sharing their choices and the reasons why, Books We Read team members explain their choices in the next few posts.
Book recommendations for the holiday season from Books We Read:
- The Best of Roald Dahl by Roald Dahl (stories for adults by author popular with children) – read the post by Julie Rossano
- The Fifth Season by N K Jemisin and The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (one for the brain, one for the heart) – read the post by Jenny Coffman
- The Arcades Project by Walter Benjamin (1927-40, unfinished work of cultural criticism) – read the post by Nick Allred
- The Good Soldier Švejk by Jaroslav Hašek (1921-1923, satirical dark comedy) – read the post by Judit Ward
