Aka Dua Lipa’s reading list. Everyone’s fave popstar on permanent holiday with a massive list of books to read, and she always seems to have incredible recommendations.

I am not part of Service95 or affiliated with Dua Lipa. I am just a fan curating this list based on the @service95bookclub IG account 💋

I've listened to every episode of the Book Riot Podcast post-2021. Below are Rebecca & Jeff’s recurring faves, or books that I just associate with them through osmosis. Disclaimer: this list starts once you’ve read the complete works of Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Percival Everett, and, of course, Marilynne Robinson.

Since I already have a List for women, I wanted to make one for men's memoirs and (auto)biographies - specifically books I think are fascinating, little known, and need more attention. Some of these men might be role models, but that's not really the point: most just had interesting lives, or lived in interesting times. Suggestions welcome.
