How To Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia by Mohsin Hamid. He's more famous for Exit West, but man I loved this one too. It's a guidebook for exactly what the title says that also serves as a heartbreaking story about friendship and love.

Carter Beats the Devil by Glen David Gold. Another reread. One of my favorite books, I haven't read it in years. It definitely holds up. Just an extraordinary novel, one of the best of the century. https://t.co/G3cMj3XRl4

Out of stock

Barn 8 by Deb Olin Unferth. A book about eco-terrorists who decide to free every chicken from a industrial chicken farm. Goes so much bigger and metaphysical than you might think. So weird and good.

The Mirage Factory by Gary Krist. A history of Los Angeles told through the lives of three fascinating transplants: William Mulholland, D.W. Griffith, and Aimee Semple McPherson. I'm a sucker for LA history, and this one is very well told. https://t.co/i1I1POJiGq

Today's recommendation: In A Lonely Place by Dorothy B Hughes. A very dark Los Angeles noir novel about a lonely man who happens to witness a murder. Or was it just by chance? Puts you deep in his mind, and then just drags you without mercy through to the end. https://t.co/7GHdygxPL7 https://t.co/fUqUU9lqvn

The Mutual Friend by Carter Bays. A novel about 2015 NYC by one of the creators of How I Met Your Mother. I started this out of curiosity, and at first it does read like a sitcom. But then it dives deeper in so many unexpected ways, and ended up one of my favorites of the year https://t.co/x0AzPIIEnx

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I enjoyed The Martian, but didn't love it, so I was taken by surprise to just absolutely love this one. It has all the hard science he's so good at, but also a really touching character story. https://t.co/9mMwvz7R0K

The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett. Patchett can be a little hit or miss for me, but when she hits, she hits. This one hit hard with a quiet story about friendship and family. Plus, my daughter liked that it has a bunny on the cover. https://t.co/tXvFc2PZWj

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Based on the description, this sounded like a broad allegory, which didn't excite me. But it actually is specific and character based in so many lovely ways, and I enjoyed it immensely. https://t.co/9XtdX0Qrfk
