Crystal surprised Frank with a last-minute reading pick! Instead of reading along with Frank, Crystal will be reading a modern adaptation of Anna Karenina.

And Crystal's prepared reading pick for this week is...

Either/or by Elif Batuman

From the bestselling author of The Idiot, the continuation of beloved protagonist Selin's quest for self-knowledge, as she travels abroad and tests the limits of her newfound adulthood. (Publisher summary)
