Read Between the Lines
Five selections for the year.
There is always time to read—the challenge is deciding which story to immerse yourself in. Perhaps you can only spare a moment to read a few poems from Peter Gizzi’s In Defense of Nothing, or you’re ready to settle into 925 pages of 1Q84. Whether you lean towards reality in a non-fictional memoir, prefer an escape in a dystopian tale, or want to ponder those moral conundrums that seem eerily plausible, these five selections will surely satisfy.
