Devil in the White City

Basically can’t go wrong

Edit - I’m saving this post for go to gifts for my dad haha

I’m happy to DNF books these days lol

That said, with the classics especially, I often enjoy them on audiobook

And audiobooks of the classics are easier to find because of copyright

Even Spotify has audiobooks these days

Try audio for a few chapters - sometimes hearing the words aloud lets you find new joy in the rhythm of the prose

Austenland lmaooo

I came across that one in the wild and still makes me giggle

“To Colin Firth: You’re a really great guy but I’m married so I think we should just be friends”
