Whether it be curling up with a good book next to the fireplace, or soaking in the sun with a beach read, I see vacation as an opportunity to devour novel after novel and poem after poem. Wherever I am, I try to read my way through a city. New York? Catch me walking the streets with Keith Haring’s Journals, The Catcher in The Rye, or The Beautiful and the Damned in hand. Paris? Make space in my suitcase for The Hunchback of Notre Dame and A Certain Smile.
This summer, my family and I stayed home. Although we are not on a luxurious vacation across the hemisphere in some aesthetically pleasing paradise, my love to read continues. Instead, I have chosen to take in the wonders of my hometown with the wide eye of a tourist — something I would recommend to any restless rising senior anticipating college far from town. Join me as I read my way through the Bay.
