In times of national crisis such as the bombings at the Boston Marathon, does reading for pleasure do any good? The great food writer MFK Fisher provided an answer of sorts during World War II when she produced a cookbook, 鈥淗ow to Cook a Wolf,鈥� aimed at teaching Americans how to continue eating delicious meals even in the face of wartime shortages. She knew that readers might wonder why she was focused on such a thing at a time of national trial.
But affirming the best qualities of civilization is the best way to answer the worst qualities in human nature, Fisher told her readers several years after the war. 鈥淭hen Fate, even tangled as it is with cold wars as well as hot, cannot harm us,鈥� she wrote.
Surely, good books rank with good food and good music as important ways to nourish our souls when times are bad.
Here are five books that offer special comfort in the wake of tragedies like the Boston bombings.
