I love this list! I've read many, and I want to read most of the ones that I haven't read. The Gilmore Girls comparison is convincing me that I should get Unlikely Animals soon. I was interested in it around its release but never got to getting a copy. Sinking Bell is the only one in the short story section that I haven't already read, so I also want to read that!

Thanks for your list and your thoughts behind the inclusion of each book. Your descriptions really help me know if it's a book for me to try or pass (i.e., I get so tense when characters make bad choices - how can you stand it?) I loved Dinosaurs and The Swimmers & am really hoping The Crane Wife is included in gifts I'm opening on New Year's Day. Unlikely Animals was a delight for me. Your reading taste aligns really well with my kids', so I get great ideas for gifts for them and seem surprisingly cool - thanks again!
