This summer, the literary landscape is set to come alive with a vibrant array of books written by Black authors, offering readers stories that run the gamut of the human experience.
From thrilling mysteries to insightful nonfiction, these highly anticipated releases are the perfect companions for summer travel, inviting you to embark on unforgettable journeys long before takeoff.
Depending on your style of travel, you do one of three things while flying: watch movies, read, or sleep.
For the bibliophiles among us, we’d like to suggest a classic read that’s good for the mind and the wallet – George S. Clason’s The Richest Man in Babylon.
What started out as a series of educational pamphlets distributed by banks in the 1920s has become a cult classic among the wealth-minded and financially savvy.
Still in print today, the book gives powerful financial lessons through a series of vignettes, similar to parables, about wealthy Babylonian merchant Arkad and two young men who aspire to create their own fortunes.
Explore its pages to learn Arkad’s story, his “Seven Cures for a Lean Purse” and the “Five Laws of Gold.”
If you only implement the first Cure, you’ll have gotten your money’s worth from the tale.
At 144 pages, the book is short enough to finish on a long-haul flight with time to spare – and chock full of smart money moves.
Next time you take to the friendly skies, bring along a copy, and you’ll be (mentally) richer by the time you deplane.
5 out of 5 stars.
