Apeirogon by Colum McCann

McCann’s novel is a meditation on Israel –
geographically, politically, and psychologically – as told
through the story of an Israeli and a Palestinian. The two
men each lost a daughter to the conflict; grief has sealed
their friendship and hardened their conviction of the need
to end the occupation.

Love, Unscripted by Owen Nicholls

A romantic comedy, this debut novel follows a film
projectionist as he comes to terms with the fact that
romance in real life bears little resemblance to what’s in
the movies. Film references abound as he and his girlfriend
struggle through disillusionment before arriving at a
charming, happy ending.

recommendation for returning from this kind of injury is to
start at just 15 minutes of running every other day, and stay
at that level for one week. If you are able to do that without
pain, in the second week, move up to 20 minutes of running
every other day. Once you can comfortably achieve that, add
another five minutes to your runs each week. At that time,
you also can add one more day to your weekly running
