Reading can be an incredibly fulfilling hobby. The possibilities are endless with so many books to choose from and ideas to learn.

With the fall semester coming to a close and the stress amping up as we get toward finals season. You may want to escape this world for a bit. Luckily for you, we here at the Daily Clog have the perfect list of science fiction novels you can read to take you to galaxies far away.

The books that have earned their place on my shelf, however, are the ones I share a history with. When I read them, I’m taken back to the places where I once lived, and the person that I was when I lived there.

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s “The Castle of Crossed Destinies,” seven of the Weekender’s staffers came together to write short pieces based on the same set of five tarot cards.

As an English major, I always have a huge amount of books I want to read on my own time. Here are some tips to read more during the school year. 

I decided to pick up my dad’s battered old copy of “Infinite Jest,” fully intent on finishing it before the school year started. I have the whole summer, I thought, could one book really take me that long to read? 

I’ve always had a love for reading. In the first grade sitting on a carpet covered in the alphabet, I realized something pivotal: All of the books sitting in our library weren’t just words on a page, but stories sparked by passion.

The next day, I still hadn’t gotten enough of Ito’s work. So I started to read one of his most popular mangas, called “Uzumaki.” While I had gone in completely blind, I was delighted to find that the story was about something I am truly fascinated with: spirals. 

With so many genres and new releases available, it can be hard to pick your next read, so the Daily Clog is here to help. We have created a list of our summer rom-com must-reads for all you lovestruck and hopeless romantic readers out there that is sure to show you your new favorite!
