Starting a thread of books I enjoyed, mostly for my own self to refer back to, but maybe you, too, will find something you like. I get most of my reading from little free libraries and curbside stacks. Sometimes I have to give myself permission to stop two chapters in and put it back out. Sometimes I discover a new author that I genuinely enjoy. Waste Tide was a good read. Near future dystopian sci-fi story. I'll keep an eye out for more if Chen Qiufan's work.

Apparently other people already knew about Elif Batuman, but she's new to me and I'm a fan. GQ called it "funny" as in "easily the funniest book I've read this year" and I feel like maybe I'm going about this all wrong. It was funny. But mostly it made me think about that feeling of being an undergrad with the whole world unfolding in front of you and dating intellectual men who mostly need to smoke less pot. I enjoyed it.Shown here with rural Sweden flying by in the background. 🚆

I'm always a little afraid to review books. What if someone more literary than me hated it? I really enjoyed The Paragon Hotel, though. So I'm adding it to my list.

I had never heard of Hanya Yanagihara*, but found this in a Little Free Library and loved it. Truly. There were some loose ends that I wanted tied off, for sure. A lot of places where the story never came full circle and I had to live with not knowing. But I still loved it.* That's on me. She won the national book award for her last book.
