The five novels and five non-fiction books I enjoyed most this year
Some fun overlap in our likes this year. I’m really intrigued by Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko—maybe for 2024.
I think you’d really appreciate it!
Panchinko was fantastic - I listened on audio a few years ago and am due for a re-read/listen. And other worthy ones on this list!
The priest at the church we've been visiting used Cry, The Beloved Country in a sermon illustration last Sunday. Great book.
Louise Erdich is phenomenal. At least from what I can tell of the one novel of hers I've gotten to (Future Home Of The Living God). Blew me away.
Pachinko and Cry had been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. I was glad I finally picked them up!
Agreed on Erdrich. I want to read all of her books now. Maybe I will go with the one you mentioned next.
