• Chuck Klosterman: Downtown Owl: A Novel. Also sometimes known ’round these parts as “The Metropolitan Urban Area of Nocturnal Birds.” The past two books I’ve read dealt with blizzards. And then the next, a thunderstorm:
• Max Frisch: Man in the Holocene, which was sad, haunting and filled with geology.
• Adrian Tomine: Shortcomings I always feel a little guilty that I tear through his stories, often missing the beautiful artwork entirely.
• James Wood: How Fiction Works
• Matt Taibbi: The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion. Matt Taibbi doesn’t seem to like fat people.
