Take a Holiday Break–or several
So after the presents are opened and the dishes are in the dishwasher, how will you spend your days leading up to the New Year? For some, these days are reserved for projects or fun with the kids. Others will doubless try to catch up on some reading. Here are books recommended by friends and myself:
These Precious Days, Ann Patchett
Beautiful Country, Qian Julie Wang
Cloud Kuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr (of course!!)
You Should Have Known, Jean Hanff Korelitz
Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro
The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois, Honoree Fanonne
Harlem Shuffle, Colson Whitehead
