Bring these books to the park on your first warm day of spring. Reading in Central Park.Hiroko Masuike/The New York Times An accomplice The first day of spring is technically a date on the calendar. But your first day of spring is subjective. It might be the first time you realize you’re sweating in long sleeves, or step out of your office into warmer air, or eat dinner while it’s miraculously, implausibly still light out. On my first day of spring, I reach for a book to join me on a triumphant trip outside, my accomplice in an annual coup against winter. The next equinox is approaching, but I am still waiting for the sun. (It’s snowing where I am as I write this.) In hopeful anticipation, I asked editors from The Times’s Books section what they’d pick from their [spring fiction](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8xMC9ib29rcy9uZXctZmljdGlvbi1ib29rcy1zcHJpbmctMjAyMy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzAzMTImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODc1MTcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyNzU3NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZAjSug1k3932JlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) and [nonfiction lists](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8xMC9ib29rcy9uZXctbm9uZmljdGlvbi1ib29rcy1zcHJpbmctMjAyMy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzAzMTImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODc1MTcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyNzU3NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZAjSug1k3932JlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) for their first nice day outside. “Pineapple Street” By Jenny Jackson A table setting designed with military precision.Bianca Bagnarelli On the first semi-warm Saturday of spring, once you’ve located a pair of sunglasses and checked the expiration date on your sunscreen, may I recommend heading to the park with [“Pineapple Street” by Jenny Jackson](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0ToaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8wMy9ib29rcy9yZXZpZXcvcGluZWFwcGxlLXN0cmVldC1qZW5ueS1qYWNrc29uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDMxMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04NzUxNyZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI3NTc2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkCNK6DWTf3fYmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~)? The characters you’ll be reading about would prefer the combination of a striped cabana chair and an elegant picnic, but any old bench and an apple will do. Prepare to lose an afternoon to the season’s first beach read, a delicious romp of a debut featuring family crises galore. The headline on our review (“Big Money, Big Houses and Big Problems in Brooklyn Heights”) pretty much says it all. — Elisabeth Egan, preview editor “Birnam Wood” By Eleanor Catton I’ve been burned by the spring idiom “in like a lion, out like a lamb,” enough times that I’m always skeptical that fairer weather is here to stay. But once the sun starts peeking out, I can’t think of a better spring companion than “Birnam Wood,” Eleanor Catton’s new ecological thriller. It follows a guerrilla gardening collective in New Zealand that tangles with an American billionaire: Both have their sights on an abandoned plot of farmland that’s been isolated after a landslide, though they have very different goals in mind. It’s absorbing enough that I could sit though a rain shower, a cold snap or even a heat wave and not miss a page. — Joumana Khatib, senior staff editor “Monsters” By Claire Dederer If you’re like me, as spring arrives and the earth warms up, so does your appetite for culture. But these days the impulse to, say, binge-watch Woody Allen movies or indulge an obsession with “Rosemary’s Baby” can feel particularly fraught — part of the roiling debate over what to do about art you love made by people who may have done bad things. That’s why I’m looking forward to “Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma” by Claire Dederer. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, Dederer dissects it from every possible angle, suggesting, with her signature smarts and self-deprecating wit, that we cannot consider what’s monstrous in the artist unless we reckon simultaneously with what’s monstrous in ourselves. — Emily Eakin, preview editor “Humanly Possible” By Sarah Bakewell If you’ve read Sarah Bakewell’s “At the Existentialist Café” (2016) — a delicious account of the beginnings of the movement and its early philosophers — you’ll understand why I ordered a copy of her next book as soon as I could. “Humanly Possible: Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking, Inquiry, and Hope” bites off a lot, no question, with subjects as varied as Boccaccio, Frederick Douglass and Bertrand Russell. At times the project of cataloging, or indeed defining, the threads of centuries of free thinking can verge on overly ambitious. Yet Bakewell is so deft, so engaging, and has such an eye for vivid detail that the process of reading it is, ultimately, a pleasure. — Sadie Stein, preview editor More books news - Imani Perry’s “South to America” made its first appearance on [The Times’s paperback nonfiction best-seller list](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vYm9va3MvYmVzdC1zZWxsZXJzLzIwMjMvMDMvMTkvcGFwZXJiYWNrLW5vbmZpY3Rpb24vP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzAzMTImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODc1MTcmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyNzU3NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZAjSug1k3932JlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) this week. - The physicist Alan Lightman [craves books on philosophy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0TtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8wOS9ib29rcy9yZXZpZXcvYWxhbi1saWdodG1hbi1ieS10aGUtYm9vay1pbnRlcnZpZXcuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMwMzEyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg3NTE3Jm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjc1NzYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmQI0roNZN_d9iZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). - Three libraries have [transformed their neighborhoods](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl8D_SP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8xMC9hcnRzL2Rlc2lnbi9uZXcteW9yay1icm9va2x5bi1saWJyYXJpZXMtbGlmZWxpbmVzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMDMxMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04NzUxNyZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI3NTc2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkCNK6DWTf3fYmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) in New York.
