The internet is a wild and lawless place, and there’s never any telling what’s going to be the next big, popular thing. Just like there are constants in life, though (like death and taxes), there are a few things you can count on to run the internet: alcohol, cat memes, and pictures of our smiling (or duck-lipped) faces. This week’s book club features three new volumes that explain three of our most current (and constant) obsessions, so go offline for a minute and read up.
<em>Cork Dork: A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste</em>
<em>The Inner Life of Cats: The Science and Secrets of Our Mysterious Feline Companions</em>
<em>I Love My Selfie</em>
