Summer 2020 Reading List

In the early days of the pandemic, it was next to impossible for most of us to sit down and read with any consistency or sustained effort. Frankly, it was hard to focus on anything at all for an extended period of time. If you haven't done so yet, now is the time to get back to reading. Whether it is reading non-fiction or fiction, learning/development or entertainment/escape, it is good for you. In any case, it's summertime, so pour yourself a good Chardonnay, go outside and find a quiet spot in the shade, and dive into any of the following books our Kilberry advisors recommend:

• Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
