Excerpts: 
What I'm Reading: InStyle Staffers on the Books You Should Read Right Now 1) A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments
By David Foster Wallace "I recently saw The End of the Tour, the movie based on a five-day-long interview between Rolling Stone reporter and burgeoning novelist David Lipsky and David Foster Wallace, and immediately felt propelled to read more of the late writer's work, so I'm starting off slow with A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. Then maybe I'll finally muster up the courage to attempt Infinite Jest."—Claire Stern, Assistant Editor
2) Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song
By Sara Bareilles "Sara Bareilles is one of my favorite musical artists and I've listened to her songs for years. When I learned of her autobiographical book, Sounds Like Me, I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. With each chapter, Bareilles tells the inside story behind some of her most popular songs. She's a refreshingly honest storyteller and I promise you'll laugh out loud—and probably cry, too." —Anna Hecht, Editorial Assistant
3) The Nightingale
By Kristin Hannah "I recently finished Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale, and it's so good chances are you'll see me reading it again. Set in France during World War two, it follows two sisters and the difficulties they face when the Nazis invade. While they follow two vastly different pasts—one must host a German soldier in her family's home and the other one joins the French resistance—their intertwined story shows the horrors of the war in a very different light. There's a reason it's been on The New York Times's bestseller list for almost a year." —Jennifer Davis, Associate Editor
