The Hari Raya celebrations begin this week, and along with it, reflection on the values that are often associated with the holiday. We take this time to talk about empathy when it comes to reading, and how books have the ability to put us in someone else's position. Our picks include Anthony Bourdain's travel books, Black Beauty, Wonder, and All the Light We Cannot See.
