Jhumpa Lahiri once wrote, “That's the thing about books: they let you travel without moving your feet.”
This holiday season, give your loved ones, your writer friends, and even yourself the gift of experience—the feeling of unwrapping a present only to find it contains your imagination.
Here’s a list of books we recommend for this holiday season:
1. Hopscotch by Julio Cortázar
Because a little experiment keeps the mind on its toes.
2. Carried Away: A Selection of Stories by Alice Munro
Because we always need to be reminded that the small things are the big things.
3. And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
Because there’s more to Afghanistan than war.
4. Faces of Love: Hafez and the Poets of Shiraz (trans. Dick Davis)
Because a little poetry keeps the blood flowing.
5. The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Because we are all searching, and one day it will lead us somewhere.
6. The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling)
Because we all need consoling since Harry Potter grew up.
7. Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Because learning how to be a better person never goes out of style.
8. Love Is a Dog from Hell by Charles Bukowski
Because there's no lesson quite like one of unrequited love.
9. My Heart Is Broken by Mavis Gallant
Because we are all outsiders in our own way.
10. What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami
Because how to live life wasn't taught to us in school.
