It's summertime, the days are long and hot and you can't watch Netflix next to the pool because, well, screen glare. But if you're feeling more adventurous than the simple pleasures that a "beach read" tends to offer, check out some of the books New York Times Book Review staff editor Lauren Christensen recommends. She stopped by the "CBS This Morning" Toyota Green Room to talk with Vladimir Duthiers about her summer reading picks which range from a "darkly funny" dive into the female psyche to a celebrated food writer's real-life trip into the world of psychedelics. Here are the 7 books discussed: "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" by Ottessa Moshfegh; "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata; "Warlight" by Michael Ondaatje; "Give Me Your Hand" by Megan Abbott; "The Terrible: A Storyteller's Memoir" by Yrsa Daley-Ward; "Calypso" by David Sedaris; "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence" by Michael Pollan. |
