Instagram Inspiration: Hooked on Books
Have you always wanted to read Murakami? Or Didion? Well, now's the time!
By Kirsten Abel August 13, 2015
If you lend me a book, chances are I will finish it and return it to you within about four years. I’m great at starting books and terrible at finishing them. It’s a problem I’m working on. And as the summer draws nearer to the end, it seems like a perfect weekend to spend lazing on the couch with a particularly absorbing volume. Or in my case, to finish one I’ve already started. These five are oldies but goodies, and are all worth reading straight through to the end.
Also remember to browse through these readers’ fetching Instagram accounts, where design and bookish inspiration abound.
1. The Broom of the System – David Foster Wallace. I watched “The End of the Tour” last week, and Wallace has been on my mind ever since. His novels are intense and brilliant and insanely rewarding. This one is especially great if you don’t quite have time yet for his 1,000 page masterpiece Infinite Jest.
