NEW YORK (AP) — Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro's next book will be one for music lovers. Alfred A. Knopf announced Thursday that Ishiguro's “The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain,” coming out March 5, is a collection of lyrics written for the million-selling jazz singer Stacey Kent. The book combines older compositions dating back to 2007 and four “cinema” works for an upcoming project with Kent. “The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain” also includes an introduction by Ishiguro, illustrations by the Italian artist Bianca Bagnarelli and a QR code that links to an album of Kent performing songs by the author.

Anyone who's ever curled up with a good book knows the health benefits of regular recreational reading. There's a single tweak you can make to your reading habits to become even more successful, says Northwestern management professor Brooke Vuckovic, who teaches a MBA class on extracting leadership lessons from literature. Her tip: After you've finished reading a new book, try describing it in one sentence. There's another benefit, too: When students in Vuckovic's MBA class write one-line book descriptions, they're often struck by how differently other people see the world, she says. One person might write a summary about Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" that focuses on the central love story.
