Happy Friday, friends. Today we’re curling up with a couple of fascinating nonfiction titles:
LIT UP: One Reporter. Three Schools. Twenty-four Books That Can Change Lives. by David Denby
“Part literary meditation, part case study of exemplary teaching, LIT UP traces a diverse group of adolescents as they are drawn into the ‘character-forming experience of reading difficult books’ by their ardent and caring (and as duly noted, union) teachers. LIT UP is also a cri de coeur imploring a return to the kind of education that elevates the ‘unquantifiable’ humanities to foster ‘the spiritual value of literature and the moral instruction of teenagers.’” — Booklist, starred review
100 MILLION YEARS OF FOOD: What Our Ancestors Ate and Why It Matters Today by Stephen Le
“When it comes to food, early humans knew best, according to Le, a biological anthropologist. Le mixes advice, personal anecdotes, and medical science in this fascinating food-for-thought narrative.” — Booklist
