Let’s do some reading this autumn
By Benjamin Wang on October 2, 2025
Autumn of 2025 arrives with its crisp air and golden light, creating the perfect atmosphere for reading. As the great writer Mark Twain once said, “The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” This season, I hope to share three remarkable books that have illuminated my fall, each offering a unique journey into different worlds.
Begin with Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, a novel that stays with you long after the final page. The story unfolds through the eyes of Klara, an artificial friend who observes human behaviour with poignant curiosity. Her unique perspective on love and sacrifice makes this book particularly moving, perfect for thoughtful autumn evenings.
For readers seeking a compelling contemporary story, I highly recommend Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid. This engaging novel explores modern relationships and social dynamics through a gripping narrative that captures the complexities of our time. Reid’s sharp observations about everyday interactions make the story both entertaining and meaningful.
Finally, The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins offers valuable wisdom for navigating student life. This book presents a practical approach to focusing on what truly matters, providing clarity amidst academic pressures. Its insights help cultivate a peaceful mindset during busy days.
As Victor Hugo beautifully expressed, “To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.” May these book recommendations kindle your own literary journey this autumn season.
