It was just so much fun, so juicy. I read it so quickly. I just wanted to know what happened. It’s the total kind of book that when you’re feeling like I just wanna read something really wild and fun and great, this is one of those books.

#43 Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou This satirical novel really has something to say. It is a good time. Lots of plot and a cast of wild characters. Academia and those of you obsessed with Asian culture, watch out. https://t.co/mIEiQYTNkn https://t.co/kisFhQpKWh

#59 Monsters by Claire Dederer This book is so worthy of conversation. Some really smart stuff, some big missed opportunities to go further and dig deeper. I enjoyed (most) of it and am just dying to talk and debate it endlessly. https://t.co/68WI5mfuhn https://t.co/ZmXFKIFm2U

#10 THE LIGHT WE CARRY by Michelle Obama I’d called this diet BECOMING. It’s very basic advice and recycled stories and antidotes. It still has MO’s signature maternal warmth which is enjoyable but not enough to carry the book. It’s a touch boring. https://t.co/9IoqRUnsQr https://t.co/l2hfHqp2tf

#54 The People's Hospital by Ricardo Nuila Read this book if you care at all about the US health care system. Memoir, history, & reporting all come together. Enraging. Well written. Helped me to make sense of Medicine Inc. in a way I never had before. https://t.co/DHJdsXkHAY https://t.co/fOPan9TLqb

#18 THE FAMILY FIRM by Emily Oster I enjoyed some of the thinking about how to think about family in this book especially how to approach decision making. Overall Oster is obsessed with her middle class white womaness in a way that is not helpful at all. https://t.co/JGgQR3lClG https://t.co/V3wXxteMuE

#8 EVERYTHING’S FINE by Cecilia Rabess Deeply flawed and saturated in a kind of anti-Blackness that is aimed at alleviating white guilt. I’m so disappointed because I know some folks will celebrate this as a both sides love story but it ain’t. https://t.co/Fi4rDcQ1mh https://t.co/lX87UulB1E

#32 THE BEST STRANGERS IN THE WORLD by Ari Shapiro I wasn't familiar with his life but found some of the essays very interesting and moving. The essay about his wedding was the stand out. A good balance of ego and insecurity. A tad long in the end. https://t.co/vCGgOPwFYR
