What’s in the gift
A full year of membership. Every book on the shelf, and every one we add.
Listen
Salman Rushdie on Candide. Margaret Atwood on A Tale of Two Cities. A great reader talks you through a great book, chapter by chapter, thinking aloud. More than 70 hours and growing.
Watch
The guides on film, each starting with an introduction to their book. Rushdie holds up the Candide he has kept since 1963, his notes still in the margins. More than 90 films and growing.
Read
The questions a reader actually has: which edition to buy, what to know before page one, whether Frankenstein’s monster is really the villain. More than 100 essays and growing.
