Shakespeel
World Book Day is just around the bend, and we have a list of 5 delicious reads featuring our favorite theme! Whether you love bananas, books, or both, you’re going to want to peel through these pages!
Banana By Dan Koeppel
If you’re looking for the definitive guide to bananas’ history, subculture, and their evolution in relation to humanity, this is THE book for you. Koeppel delves into a tree of topics, branching into the possibly tragic future of bananas and how they are cloned, their cultural significance in ancient societies and their relevance to American business (could the biblical forbidden fruit have been an ancestor to our modern Cavendish???)
Strip Tease By Carl Hiaasen
A mystery featuring a Florida congressman becoming obsessed with a stripper (of course it’s a Florida man), Strip Tease is ripe with Hiaasen’s rotten imagination, creative humor, and wit. Is it about bananas? Sure, probably, maybe – there is one on the cover, after all!
The Conquest Of Happiness By Bertrand Russel
Philosopher Bertrand Russel takes us on a journey through the causes of unhappiness and guides us to the concepts that can generate happiness. His book predates the modern trend of self-help and holds a unique perspective on the thing everybody wants… bananas- er, uh, happiness!
The Nonsense Show By Eric Carle
The Nonsense Show is an effort of love for surrealism and a desire to inspire creativity in children. Carle, the writer of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, takes young readers on a nonsensical journey while also pointing out how such nonsense is the core of creativity. This is an important lesson for a kid, especially if they grow up and get told to somehow compile a list of banana-themed books, for instance.
After His Banana By Penelope Bloom
This modern romance novel’s description tells you all you need to know: “Before you assume I’m a potassium sucking harlot, let me explain…”
Crafted with cute wit and clever humor, this story is a must read for anyone that loves bananas, banana-shaped objects, and banana-shaped love!
