After a disastrous summer and two years of silence, Poppy plans to reunite the two for one last vacation.
Read below for six of Mr. Bader’s must-read books.
“It’s a prophecy and one of the greatest mysteries I’ve ever read. It made me cry and it made me laugh.”
“An introduction to Joan Didion. His voice has stuck with me since I first read it. A moving and tragic exploration of grief and love.”
“It was my favorite play as a child and it always makes me feel at home when I look back on it. My grandmother took me to see this play when I was little and it was one of the reasons I fell in love with acting.”
“A beautiful memoir by one of my favorite actresses. I thought it was powerful to see Diane use her mother’s diary to explore their relationship and gain a deeper understanding of herself. It’s non-linear and an easy read.”
“Elizabeth Bennet is metal. It’s a book that never gets old, no matter how many times you read it. I’ve probably read it a dozen times.”
“The perfect book to read on the beach on a stormy winter day. Grab a blanket and a hot cup of tea and get cooped up at home.”
