SPECIAL: Our Top Summer Reading Picks⛱️

Dear Reader,

We are in the dog days of summer and what better way to beat the heat than to curl up somewhere cool with a good book?
Deputy Culture Editor Talya Zax recently polled our newsroom to see what our staffers were reading and their summer picks will not disappoint. From mystery, to fantasy, to politics– there's something for every taste.
And in case you need one more suggestion, one of my favorite books is "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" by Michael Chabon. Taking place in a fictional Jewish state established in Alaska, it's guaranteed to keep you cool during the next heat wave. (Plus, read up now before it comes to a small screen near you.)
Happy reading and stay cool,
John Kunza
