An introduction to Literary Fiction, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Good morning Bookaholics!
I have a 5 hour road trip today so I won't be able to see any answers until my final stop 😭
Because of this, I just want to know:
What is everyone reading right now? And so far, what are your thoughts?

I feel like I have been away forever. I have had a busy summer and haven't been on Pagebound nearly as much as my brain would like. I should be back and posting more regularly from here on out. I miss the interactions and writing about books. I posted over on Substack this morning about how important reading has been to me in my life. It got me thinking about a few very important people in my life. They were both teachers, third and fourth grade, respectively. They went out of their way to foster a love of reading and keep me in books. They both bought me books because we couldn’t afford to buy books. They showed me the power of comics and the library. I read history books to this day because Mr. Nycum (4th-grade teacher) would go to the school library with me, sit down with a giant stack of books about US History, and help me find ones I wanted to read. Inevitably, I would read them all.
Reading gave me a path out of the chaos of my childhood and helped to shape me into the adult I would become. I would have many adults along the way who would help, but I will always have a special place in my heart for Mr. Nycum and Mrs. Llamas, who looked out for a small, shy kid who needed a helping hand.
How about all of my Pagebound friends? Who are the people in your life that you will never forget because they helped foster and nourish your love of reading?
