The Day the Sun Died
Yan Lianke
@RickAmicon @bartlebytaco @_ryanruby_ @JackHoughteling @JenLouiseWilson Really canât go wrong with anything from any of them. If I had to choose just one: The Day The Sun Died by Yan Lianke

Liberation Day: Stories
George Saunders
I needed Lewis Nordanâs writing when I was younger. This mix of beauty and horror. A master of juxtaposition. Between Wolf Whistle and his short stories, feels like Mississippi George Saunders. And scenic beauty all over the place. https://t.co/WE5eAQkNxP

The Logos
Mark de Silva
Started reading The Logos by Mark De Silva last night. Entranced. Read this book if an artist walking around, making art, and noticing stuff is your thing. Something great on every page. And there are a thousand pages. https://t.co/lLzD9wkrkL

The Last Samurai
Helen DeWitt

The Moviegoer
Walker Percy
Gonna start tweeting things like âThe Moviegoer by Walker Percy is not a serious bookâ or âThe only serious MacArthur list was â88 when Charles Burnett, Naomi Pierce, Max Roach, AND Thomas Pynchon won.â Gonna melt my brain. Watch this space.
