Breezy readin’

These lit picks have earned a spot in our sand- and sunscreen-filled beach bags.

The Cellist of Sarajevo
by Steven Galloway
The fact that it’s written by one of Vancouver’s own is just one of the reasons we love this tense (like, really, really tense) tale of a city under siege.

 

Making Ideas Happen
by Scott Belsky
Just because we’re sunning our bottoms at the beach doesn’t mean we can’t also be productive. Or at least read about being productive.

 

Monocle, the magazine
It’s fashion, it’s design, it’s travel, it’s culture. Come to think of it, it’s starting to sound very familiar.

 

 

On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
With the movie adaptation coming out soon, we figure now’s a good time to brush up on this classic.

 

iPad 2 by Apple
So we can bring Vitamin Daily to the beach too. (We kid, we kid. We’d totally read canonical literature on it.)
