As we near the end of 2021, we want to know your recommendations. What’s the best book you read this year?
Are you digging into the country’s history with “The 1619 Project“? The prize-winning read, originally published in the New York Times magazine’s special issue in 2019, recently came out in book form. Maybe you’re finishing the Book Club‘s current read, “Travels With George,” ahead of the virtual event on Tuesday with author Nathaniel Philbrick?
It’s possible your favorite read of 2021 wasn’t published this year. For Harry Potter fans, are you re-reading “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in anticipation of the first film’s 20th anniversary and cast reunion? Maybe you dove into Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi epic “Dune” after watching Denis Villeneuve’s latest film? Did you devour the story of mixed-race childhood friends in the movie “Passing,” and loved the book from author Nella Larsen even more?
