My List
Recommend a book.
Like historical fiction that brings you to a different time, or a travelogue that immerses you in another geography, these are stories that place you in your body.
The content will vary, but these stories have had a palpable effect: a scene, a sympathetic character, a bit of dialogue, or a descriptive passage elicited a mind-and-body response that enriched your understanding.
The Embodied Reader is a living library, and it will grow through readers engaging with it. We'll add your recommendation to the library within a few days. Thank you for your contribution.

We're looking for:
Fiction and non-fiction, poetry and essays. The quality of the writing is the main criterion. The themes included on the shelves are usually present in character-driven stories. Essays by philosophers, psychologists, and other subject specialists also offer far-reaching insight into these themes.
