Reading List for a Heatwave

It’s hot outside, folks… have you noticed? I polled the Rioters and got some good suggestions on what to read when you can’t take the heat. There was a resounding call to read books that are set in cold weather. So, here’s to tricking our brains a little. (Be sure to add to the list if you have suggestions as this is, obviously, not a comprehensive list).

• The Terror by Dan Simmons
• Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving
• The Amazing Adventures of Kavlier and Clay AND The Yiddish Policemen’s Union both by Michael Chabon
• The Secret History by Donna Tartt
• The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
• The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
• Call of the Wild by Jack London
• Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1) by C.S. Lewis
• Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster by Jon Krakauer
• A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1) by George R.R. Martin
• The Redbreast (Harry Hole, #3) by Jo Nesbø
