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!
Thank you for this list! I, of course, have read none of these. I love all your recommendations and this is a great list I can pull up when I am at the bookstore. Can't wait to start on these! Without you, I would be reading a lot of shit - if I read at all!
First, I loved Vladimir and it’s hilarious and relatable that you think everything is going to be gay. Second, I was just reading this post and loving it as usual when I came across my own dang book! Thank you!

I loved The Hero of this book as well. It really surprised me. I definitely want to re-read. She writes so well.
