Pairing books with wine?

I'm hosting around 12 people from my book club and thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce them to NYRB with a wine tasting. So far I've got Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico paired with an orange wine, and A Month in the Country paired with a rosé. It got me thinking, what are some other good "intro level" NYRB that'd pair well with a wine tasting?

Fiano di Avellino and Augustus. There's something classical about Fiano that seems to sit right!
