If Your Favorite FRIEND is Monica…
Read The Joy of Cooking, by Irma S. Rombauer
Considered to be one of the best cookbooks of all time, The Joy of Cooking is a staple in the home of any food lover. While most chefs probably have a copy stained with food and filled with crumbs, Monica’s is probably in pristine condition upon her shelf.
If Your Favorite FRIEND is Chandler…
Read Sh*t My Dad Says, by Justin Halpern
Filled with the best dad-isms you’ve ever heard, Sh*t My Dad Says is sure to be a little look into the future of Chandler Bing as a father. Filled with amazing one-liners that even Chandler would be proud of, this collection of wit and humor couldn’t BE any better.
If Your Favorite FRIEND is Phoebe…
Read The Artist in the Office, by Summer Pierre
This inspirational and interactive book is great for all the Pheobe’s of the world…encouraging small acts of creativity to happen throughout the day, every day. Take a picture of every coffee mug you see, take a lunchtime adventure, collect doodles and reassemble them…the possibilities are endless!
If Your Favorite FRIEND is Rachel…
Read The Glass of Fashion, by Cecil Beaton
The Glass of Fashion was written by iconic photographer, Cecil Beaton. It explores the faces and models that shaped the golden age of fashion. Filled with illustrations and personal stories about Chanel, Dior and Balenciaga, this is one book that Rachel would use as motivation and inspiration.
If Your Favorite FRIEND is Joey…
Read The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P., by Adelle Waldman
Nate has it all…a rising career, his choice of beautiful women…but he’s constantly struggling with his own status anxiety and his search for what it really means to be happy. An absorbing tale of women, sex and love, this is one book that Joey (hopefully!) wouldn’t have to throw in the freezer!
If Your Favorite FRIEND is Ross…
Read Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton
The ultimate in dinosaur fiction, Jurassic Park is a classic that Ross would surely have on his bookshelf. Much different from the movie of the same name, the novel explores the science behind these dinosaurs…a topic Ross would probably love to discuss and argue about to anyone gullible enough to listen!
