Do we love books? Yes, of course, obviously! We’re obsessed with them. But that doesn’t mean we’re not just as obsessed with so many of the great movies and television shows being released today...

Next of Kin My Conversations with Chimpanzees

Roger Fouts [isbn]

This book will break your heart and then put it back together again.
Recommended by Milo D.


A Visit from the Goon Squad

Jennifer Egan [isbn]

If you liked the TV show Lost, you might like this book. It features a host of interconnected characters, not always honorable, but definitely entertaining. 
Recommended by Maya M.


Poems of Paul Celan

Paul Celan [isbn]

One of the great poets of the latter half of the 20th century, Celan was a Romanian Jew who survived the Holocaust. His poetry is a difficult and harrowing attempt to reckon with the lived experience of genocide. In a sense, many of his poems can be read as attempts to give voice to the bodiless dead: language itself is compressed and fragmented into gnostic observations, neologisms, and an intensely tragic personal symbolism, all of which seem...

Exercises in Style

Raymond Queneau [isbn]

Raymond Queneau's brilliant 1947 classic could have just as easily been titled Achievements of Ingenuity. Written more than a decade before he would cofound the "Workshop of Potential Literature" (Oulipo), Exercises in Style is one of the preeminent examples (and executions) of constrained writing.

Many Subtle Channels In Praise of Potential Literature

Daniel Levin Becker [isbn]

Ebullient to those already under the Oulipian spell and likely befuddling to those ingenuity intolerant, Daniel Levin Becker's Many Subtle Channels is a fascinating, engaging, and well-researched account of Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle (translating loosely as the "workshop for potential literature"), a collective of mostly French writers and mathematicians that employ(ed) a range...

Selected Poems Poemas Selectos

Jimmy Santiago Baca [isbn]

Chicano/Apache poet Jimmy Santiago Baca served six years in federal prison (where he learned to read and write) before eventually winning the International Poetry Slam championship. He has since gone on to compose poems, short stories, novels, essays, and a screenplay. Selected Poems (a bilingual edition featuring poems translated into Spanish alongside their original English) is an absolutely devastating collection. Drawn from seven... (read more)

Living Language Dothraki A Conversational Language Course Based on the Hit Original HBO Series Game of Thrones
