Is your next favorite eBook about him?
By Melissa Kirsch
One of the most productive birthday gifts I’ve ever won was a stack of 4 or five books, all published the year I was born. I hadn’t read John le Carré’s “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” but now I felt a connection to him. ; We were born at about the same time. I wasn’t a fan of science fiction, but I found it necessary to read “The Dispossessed” through Ursula K. Le Guin after receiving it in the pile.
The meaningful gift of receiving a reprint of the newspaper cover of your date of birth is: Here’s a snapshot of the world, which was already awake and confused with ideas, when you got there.
I’m interested in how other people choose the e-books they read. Do they choose the most attractive of a table full of novelties in the electronic bookstore?Do they read reviews and make decisions based on critics’ decisions?They receive recommendations from friends or celebrities. The all-you-can-eat e-book buffet activates the reader, especially a slow reader like me, to expand a strategy. As with a genuine buffet, where you can fill up at the pasta station and be complete to the end. When you come to the bar to make your own omelette, I’m afraid you spend too much time on any era or genre to the exclusion of others. Maybe the right thing to do is to touch a little of everything in moderation, stay. It’s interesting, keep moving.
This week, the National Book Foundation announced the long list of the 2023 National Book Awards, which features a collection of books that, thankfully, a hungry reader can enjoy dinner until the end of the year. (“Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah’s Chain-Gang All-Stars and John Vaillant’s “Fire Weather” just topped my list. )
A friend recently told me that the long lists and finalists for the National Book Awards featured a lot of uncommon concepts about what to read. Pick a year and look at what you haven’t read – or better yet, what you haven’t heard of, books that were admired in a specific year and you still don’t know why they appear on your radar today. Of course, you can decide your year of birth and move on to the city.
But you’d better start reading this weekend. The finalists for the 2023 Booker Prize will be announced on Thursday and the Nobel Prize in Literature on October 5. Add to that the fact that it’s fall, the season when many publishers release their biggest titles, and your reading plate is about to end. be very crowded.

As the apples cook, they soften and become fluffy. , and the liquid in the pan is reduced and caramelized until it is sticky and sauce-like.
