Laughing Matters: Five Funny Books With Substance

July 17, 2012 7:00 AM

Who says humor books can't be serious? Critic Heller McAlpin recommends some light but not weightless reads on mostly modern dilemmas: the pitfalls of class snobbery, what to do with those expensive higher degrees, the challenges of long marriages, and why otherwise rational women wear high heels.

Lesser-Known Lit: Seeking Summer's Hidden Gems

by Barrie Hardymon

July 03, 2012 7:00 AM

Passing along a book that no one has heard of is like telling a really good secret. NPR's Barrie Hardymon recommends a hot Southern thriller, a scathing evisceration of the newspaper biz, a slightly ridiculous, totally gratifying romance, and one extra gem that's been hiding in plain sight.

Illustration: A lighthouse casts its beam on a book in the water.
