Here we are, halfway through the month of August. We also have some books to recommend, as you probably guessed. Some are new; some are reissues. One is a particularly intriguing tribute to an iconic writer; another is a biography of an athlete whose career in sport remains deeply relevant. Read on for some late summer suggestions.
It’s a new year, apparently. January can be a strange month for books; this one is no exception, but that’s meant in the best way possible. Where else can you see cult classics, cinephile thrillers, and J.G. Ballard-inspired horror fiction in one place? Here are some suggestions if you’re looking to get some reading done this month — and we’d wager that if you’re here, you probably are.
