Have a literary Labor Day!

We hope you’re having a rewarding Labor Day, whether that means you’re enjoying an extra day off or working at a job that makes the holiday both fun and safe for others.

Princeton University Press pulled together a list of books about labor, and many of them have free introductions or first chapters for you to check out immediately.

If you don’t want nonfiction, Literary Hub’s Labor Day list of fiction and poems that find beauty in common jobs at least keeps the spirit of the holiday.

And for those who simply want to dive into a book, The New York Times suggests three quick reads for your three-day weekend.
