This reminds me that close friends have given me *wonderful* reading recommendations, which I would have done well to heed, even at the expense of (what I usually think of as) my all-things-considered reading list. Relatedly: hey, what books should I read?https://twitter.com/AgnesCallard/status/1210368555302162435 …

Novels: News of the World, The Sympathizer * for books I had material objection to some part of, ** for ones with major issues that yet were useful. I read more novels than that (albeit not a ton of them!), and I tend literary…but probably not literary enough for you! (5/5)
Thanks very much! I loved Bad Blood soooo much. FWIW I enjoyed Fleishman is in Trouble (though with caveats) and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is on my list, so I'm not at all afraid of middlebrow stuff. (Oh, also Diary of a Very Bad Year was great.)

For me one interesting thing about parenting books is that the subject-specific ones also often have the best overall insight into parenting (Oh Crap! and Precious Little Sleep come to mind). Loved Bringing up Bebe and All Joy & No Fun. Have Opposite of Spoiled queued up.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Ok, middlebrow (some upper-middle and some lower-middle in here!) it is: Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk; Where’d You Go, Bernadette?; All the Light We Cannot See; Dear Committee Members; The Art of Fielding; The Nix; Brooklyn I assume you’ve read A Handmaid’s Tale!

Hmm and Miller’s Valley; Bluebird, Bluebird
