A month or so ago, we started a new section of the site called The Library. Like most libraries, it's filled with books, but ours are virtual, and they're all recommended by our teachers about the topics they teach. 

Here are a few of our favorites to get you started this summer:

Homemade Root Beer, Soda & Pop by Steven Cresswell

Why you should read it: The cover art is questionable but the recipes are fun and interesting. I'd love a book that's 100% root beer recipes, but that's not gonna happen.

Rub Out the Words: The Letters of William S. Burroughs 1959-1974

Why your should read it: If you're a Beat junkie like me (no word-play intended, I swear), you might find this extensive collection of letters written by Burroughs to Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, his partner in cut-ups, Brion Gysin, etc. quite fascinating.

Vogue History of 20th Century Fashion

Why you should read it: To read how fashion reflected the changing lives of women (and how women reflected the changing nature of fashion) through the Vogue editorial lens is delightful.
