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 …

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!
I admit I haven't read A Handmaid's Tale, though I'm newly a big Atwood fan having heard her on "Conversations with Tyler." I loved Dear Committee Members but maybe prefer Straight Man (also very funny). I have a train commute and a Kindle, so hopefully more books in 2020.
