In case you feel the same, and in case you’re going somewhere new this season (or any time in the future, really), I’m recommending two books-one fiction and one non-fiction-set in (or at least concerning) every state in America for your exploratory reading pleasure. That is, I’m looking for a kind of recognition. I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m visiting a new place, and particularly if I’m going to spend a good deal of time there, I like to find my way in with a book-either a book about the history of the area or one that’s simply set there, so that I can get a feel for its rhythms, the cadences and locations that will soon become familiar to me. It seems as though everyone is traveling right now-students and teachers are heading off to new cities or returning to old ones for the fall semester, friends are kicking off last-ditch road trips, and 1 in 3 New Yorkers are using their vacation days to sweat out the last of August in literally any other place they can get to.
