Recreational Reading Suggestions for the Break

I hope you are all enjoying your time off in between quarters. Now that you have some spare time to read things other than textbooks, you might consider kicking back to do some recreational reading. Here are some books I recommend:


"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by the Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez takes place in the mythical town of Macondo in Latin America. The novel explores such timeless themes as love, war, poverty and death.


"Garden Spells" by Sarah Addison Allen tells the story of two sisters who learn to reconnect after a long absence, and of an enchanted garden where magical, life-altering fruit can be found.

"Skeleton Crew" is a collection of short stories by Stephen King that will help get you in the mood for Halloween.
