Summary: There are roughly three weeks until the summer clock unofficially runs down. How will you spend these last lazy days? Maybe you’ll be under an umbrella by the sea or in a hammock next to a green meadow or flopped on a big, soft couch in your very own living room. Wherever you are, you’ll want a good book by your side. To help you figure out exactly what that good book will be, Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry asked some experts what they’ve enjoyed reading this summer and what they’re still yearning to dive into. Music for this week’s podcast comes from Podington Bear. *** Book Recommendations: André Aciman, essayist and novelist A Brief Stop on the Road From Auschwitz, Göran Rosenberg Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë Persuasion, Jane Austen Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë Nat Bernstein, Jewish Book Council Network Coordinator The Sunlit Night, Rebecca Dinerstein Book of Numbers, Joshua Cohen Amelia Kahaney, YA novelist and short-story writer Everything I Never Told You, Celeste Ng The Beautiful Bureaucrat, Helen Phillips The Unfortunates, Sophie McManus The Story of the Lost Child, Elena Ferrante [forthcoming, Sept 2015] Sarah Wildman, author and journalist My Salinger Year, Joanna Rakoff The Boston Girl, Anita Diamant The Impossible Exile: Stefan Zweig at the End of the World, George Prochnik Kathe: I’ve Always Been Here, Espen Søbye [Fall, 2015] The Goddess Pose: The Audacious Life of Indra Devi, the Woman Who Helped Bring Yoga to the West, Michelle Goldberg Marjorie Ingall, Tablet columnist and author of a forthcoming book on Jewish mothers Some Girls Are, Courtney Summers In the Unlikely Event, Judy Blume Dietland, Sarai Walker
