If there’s one thing Emme wouldn’t mind supersizing, it’s her commute, now that she’s got a Kindle to keep her company.

“I take the bus in an hour earlier and just relax,” says the world’s foremost plus-size model, now making her stage debut in off-Broadway’s “Love, Loss, and What I Wore.” The divorced single mother and entrepreneur — who recently unveiled a “self-acceptance” website, EmmeNation.com — was born Melissa Miller in New York City, raised in Saudi Arabia and educated in Connecticut. A former champion rower, she now lives in North Jersey and calls the time she spends reading while riding between her home and the Port Authority “my own private oasis.” Here’s what’s on her Kindle.

An Object of Beauty

by Steve Martin

An intern at Sotheby’s climbs the ladder of success in the most unconventional and sometimes illegal ways to make it to the top. My father was involved in the art world — he was an eclectic collector. A friend of mine, an avid reader, told me about this book. It really gets the art world of the 1990s — uptown, downtown, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, the whole thing.

Live Right For Your Type

by Peter J. D’Adamo with Catherine Whitney

This is all about blood, and eating according to your blood type to maximize your health, metabolism and vitality. I’m already gluten-free and I don’t eat a lot of dairy, but my thyroid was sluggish and I started taking kelp. According to this book, coffee isn’t good for my blood. I love coffee! But I stopped. I need all my energy for this show.

Tell No One

by Harlan Coben

I was at the New Jersey Hall of Fame awards recently — my friend’s one of the founders — and Harlan was there. He said, “I can’t believe I’m meeting you. I used you as an inspiration for one of my books!” I said, “You’re kidding me. Where can I find your books?” He said, “Everywhere.” So I got it on my Kindle. It’s about a woman who goes missing and her husband has to clear his name.

The Heart of a Woman

by Maya Angelou

It’s an autobiography: what she thought and what she felt back in the ’60s. When some opportunities presented themselves, she stood up and said, “Sure, I’ll do that.” I’ve never done a show before but found myself saying the words, “Sure, I’ll try it!” I wonder if it’s because I read this book. Woman don’t always give ourselves kudos for what we know. We may not be experts, but it’s always worth a try.
