It’s clearly been a few years (or decades) since your last literature class; a great way to add some more reading to your life might be audiobooks! Or spending an afternoon in your favorite local indie bookstore or library, where the booksellers and librarians would love to help you find exactly the kinds of books that are your cup of tea!
