Girl, Woman, Other

Bernardine Evaristo · 2019 · Buy on Amazon

"It’s kind of a multigenerational novel about Black families in London and it’s kind of this weird, all-lower-case stream of consciousness thing. So it looks very daunting, but it’s actually really readable. It’s really great."

The History of Graphic Design

Jens Müller · Buy on Amazon

"I’m a huge design nerd and it’s just gorgeous. If you want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 20-pound book, I recommend that. That’s like a Jeopardy!-winners-only choice, because those Taschen books are expensive. But they’re beautiful."

The Animal-Lovers Book of Beastly Murder

Patricia Highsmith · Buy on Amazon

"One of her very first collections is a series of these kind of dark murder mysteries all about animals, domestic animals, killing their humans. So every single story just ends with a donkey or a Chihuahua or whatever killing its owner…It’s crazy."

Cat’s Cradle

Kurt Vonnegut · Buy on Amazon

Dandelion Wine

Ray Bradbury · Buy on Amazon
