Okay, what’s next? Don’t pay for a subscription just yet. More books means more chances to jump into The Big Read, as well as more opportunity for a buffet-style subscription, if you’d like - take some, leave some, sub/unsub at will. I know I’ve already said it, but I’m so excited about these new books. Just like the first two years of The Big Read, I’ll be providing weekly commentary, background and contextual information, additional resources, and discussion opportunities for paid subscribers. You’ll never be reading more than ~75 pages a week, which averages out to just ~11 pages per day. I’ve read these books and love them, and I’m already incredibly excited to read them again with you next year.Ī couple of those are very long, but as with War and Peace, the idea is still to break it up into manageable chunks. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (June-September)ĭracula by Bram Stoker (October, for Halloween!)Įast of Eden by John Steinbeck (November-December) Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (January-March)Ī Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (April-May)
I’ve been picking books for The Big Read of the future! Instead of just one book, we’re going to tackle a handful of big-time classics (updated with final picks): We have over 250 people reading Tolstoy’s classic! It’s been great fun, but I’ve decided to shake things up a little in 2023, which brings to me to. I’ve been guiding this year’s cohort of The Big Read: War and Peace.

I’ve been working on my other newsletter, What to Read Next, which I send out every Friday morning, totally free of charge. For paid subscribers, I have to give a huge thanks for the support this year! It’s been incredible to see and I can’t say how thankful I am and how much fun I’m having.įor free subscribers, it’s perhaps been a while since you’ve heard from me.
