Books we’d recommend to Conrad Fisher

The Catcher in the Rye J. D. Salinger

The ultimate brooding teen novel. Conrad would eat this book up and find plenty of ways to relate to Holden. Desperate for human connection? Check. A sense of loss that others don’t understand. Check. A mixed feeling of excitement for future possibilities with the emptiness that comes with putting others before yourself? C.H.E.C.K.

And let’s not forget the matching intellectual vibes . . . perfection on a page.

Ottolenghi SIMPLE Yotam Ottolenghi

For a man as complex as Conrad, he sure has the blandest diet we know! We think it’s about time that cooking for your loved ones actually tasted nice, so SIMPLE was the obvious choice.

Conrad, for the sake of everyone around you, please learn to cook something other than grilled chicken and vegetables!

Our Infinite Fates Laura Steven

Conrad’s love for Belly has spanned years, but it’s got nothing on the love between Evelyn and Arden. They’re fated to be with each other but are destined to spend their years killing one another.

With plenty of grief mixed in, this is the perfect read for yearning souls. Just don’t get any ideas about the best way to win Belly back . . .

Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, and Conrad is one of them. He would probably volunteer to dissect every aspect of the story with his fancy Stanford classmates.

But deep down, we know Conrad’s copy of this love story would be well loved and notated. After all, he had to learn the perfect way to pine and yearn from someone!

Blueback Tim Winton

Given his love for surfing, we just know Conrad would love the premise of this book. Add in the seemingly idyllic life that isn’t quite what it seems, plus finding wisdom through internal harmony and you’ve got yourself the perfect cross-country-travel story.

Catch Conrad pondering his existence over the next wave on his surfboard this summer.

First Aid Manual 11th Edition DK

This one is pretty obvious . . .

Belly isn’t always going to be around to save you from being maimed by your surfboard, or electrocuting yourself, so it’s about time you put that medical degree to use! Or, just rely on this manual, given the recent firing from the hospital . . .

Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare

With killer lines like ‘Parting is such sweet sorrow’, and a love story that spans warring families and death, we just know Conrad would feel seen by Shakespeare.

Like young Romeo who fell desperately in love with Juliet and would do anything to keep her safe and happy, Conrad lives for Belly. Let’s just hope their story doesn’t end in tragedy.

These Jokes Will Annoy Everyone You Know
