The newest edition of Good Reads is especially robust, with 21 recommendations by 13 professors from a variety of academic departments. Suggestions include a biography of Vladimir Putin, a search for meaning in life, and a story about the friendship between Salvador Dali and Walt Disney. There’s a “good listen” for the first time. And readers will have the opportunity to hear directly from recommended authors Hanan al-Shaykh and Zadie Smith when they visit Dartmouth in 2016.
