In a world of relentless notifications, countless demands on your attention, and an endless stream of easy entertainment, it can be hard to carve out time for the humble book. But now more than ever, I\u2019d argue we need the expansiveness and delight that only books can offer. What better reward is there than finding yourself immersed in the perfect read \u2014 one that surprises, charms, and even challenges you?<\/p>\n
Vox is here to help you navigate the bustling, baffling, and often delightful world of literature and publishing. Our resident book critic, Constance Grady, curates thoughtful recommendations for both new and old releases through her excellent monthly newsletter, Next Page<\/a>, and its \u201cAsk a Book Critic\u201d feature, where she answers reader requests for personalized recommendations. But she doesn\u2019t stop there: Constance also explores the deeper currents behind book culture \u2014 from the inner workings of the publishing industry to the way literature can help explain the world we live in.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re looking for your next read or eager to dive into the most exciting ideas behind books, Vox Book Club has something for you. We hope you\u2019ll read with us.<\/p>\n \u2014Naureen Khan, senior editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a world of relentless notifications, countless demands on your attention, and an endless stream of easy entertainment,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[223,690,88,26020],"class_list":{"0":"post-31022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-culture","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-vox-book-club"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
