The Garden Party
Short stories by one of New Zealand’s early literary divas capturing the foibles and disappointments of life among the garden party set.

River of Fire
The defining classic of Urdu literature, a millennia-spanning epic published in 1959 and only recently translated into English.

Hunchback of Notre Dame
I dove into this tome while riding the rails in Europe — its dense, entrancing story is perfect for those LONG rides and hanging in the train stations. Lurking near the venerable cathedral only enhances the experience.
