The Art of Travel
Alain de Botton
Although The Consolation of Philosophy is slightly better, The Art of Travel is a must-read right now because it will help you understand what travel does to our psyche and why we all want to travel and explore new things. Although this may sound like "torture" in these strange times when the world is practically "closed", in the book you will find a wonderful chapter about Xavier de Maistre and how he is in isolation in Turin "traveled around my room".

The Devil In The White City
Eric Larson
Larson's true-crime book tells the story of HH Holmes, a serial killer active during the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. His eerie murder hotel was equipped with soundproofing, secret passages and shafts that went straight down into the basement, where he disposed of the bodies. The book is rumored to be adapted into a television series produced by Scorsese and DiCaprio.

Happy: Why More Or Less Everything Is Absolutely Fine
Derren Brown
Derren Brown takes the public through extreme situations in his TV shows, so you really wouldn't expect a book about happiness from him. But believe me, you will be pleasantly surprised. It's a brilliant exploration of what it means to be happy and why most self-help books are counterproductive. Trust us, you'll feel better even when you're going through really tough times.

Jog On: How Running Saved My Life
Bella Mackie
This book will convince even the biggest slacker to get off the couch and get active, even if that means simply using a home fitness machine that's been gathering dust for months (if not years). Bella Mackie is warm, brutally honest and downright funny when she talks about her mental health, her running and why she doesn't care how far or how fast you run. Comedian Joe Lycett described Jon On as "a simple but effective countermeasure for an anxious world", and we couldn't agree more!

The Cabin At The End Of The World
Paul Tremblay
Contemporary horror at its best tells the story of a family – Erik, Andrew and their seven-year-old daughter Wen – vacationing in a remote cabin. They are attacked by a group of weirdos from a cult that forces the family to make a terrifying choice that could save the world. It's a smart, literary horror that really gets under your skin.

Chamber Music: About The Wu-Tang (In 36 Pieces)
Will Ashon
A stunning book for those who want to know how society, economics and politics shaped not only one of the best rap groups in the world, but hip-hop as a whole. It's brilliantly written by ex-journalist and publisher owner Will Ashon, who ultimately turns the narrative on its head when he begins to question whether he really is the right author for this book (given that he's a white, Oxford-educated Brit). It is and this book is a must read!

Fire And Rain
David Browne
The book is a fascinating summary of a year that saw the rise and fall of many of the year's biggest music artists. The Beatles break up, Simon & Garfunkel peak and go on hiatus immediately, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young barely make it through a show without fighting. In this well-written book about the transition from the 1960s to the 1970s, you will find a lot of (musical) pleasure.

The New York Trilogy
Paul Auster
A must buy or gift for anyone who likes detective fiction. This is the first story of the three, City of Glass, and it's essential. The premise is brilliant: writer Quinn gets a call asking if Paul Auster is—not the author of the book, but someone who owns a detective agency. He's not, but he pretends to be. What follows is an amazing adventure! Best of all, there are two more stories, both of which we highly recommend!

Me
Elton John
If you think that the movie Rocketman is better than the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, then definitely read Elton's biography, where you will find frank and entertaining stories about the excesses of rock'n'roll. Watch out for the moment when Elton and John Lennon are in a hotel room in New York and unexpected visitors show up... Or the moment when Elton John mistakes Bob Dylan for his gardener. The book is extremely entertaining - from start to finish.
