Literary experience heals the wound, without undermining the privilege of
individuality … in reading great literature I become
a thousand men and yet remain myself.

BEST OF 2021
The Anthropocene
Reviewed
Essays on a Human-Centered
Planet
JOHN GREEN
A captivating collection of essays, in which
John Green reviews everything from sunsets
to scratch ‘n’ sniff stickers. Simultaneously
hilarious and heartbreaking; you will never look
at Diet Dr Pepper the same way again.
The Rock from the Sky
JON KLASSEN
Every picture book Jon Klassen creates is a
miniature masterpiece and The Rock from
the Sky is no exception. The illustrations are
delightful, the dialogue is dying to be read
aloud, and the ending is as perfect as it is
unexpected.
PAST FAVOURITES
Piranesi
SUSANNA CLARKE
Unlike anything I’ve ever read, this novel
is undefinable, a beautiful blend of
fantasy, poetry, philosophy, and suspense.
As mysterious and mesmerizing as the
labyrinthine world our main character
calls home.
Deeper
Real Change for Real Sinners
DANE ORTLUND
In Deeper, Dane Ortlund, bestselling author
of Gentle and Lowly, reminds us that spiritual
growth occurs, not by fixating on oneself, but
by focusing on and enjoying fellowship with
Christ; by being immersed in the wonder of
His glorious gospel. A profound and practical
guide to Christian living.
Poison for Breakfast
LEMONY SNICKET
Lemony Snicket discovers he has eaten poison
for breakfast. The result is a 160-page
meditation on bread, bewilderment and, of
course, death. Weird, wise, and wonderfully
witty, this book is as dark and delicious as that
chocolate you only buy on special occasions.
