I can be somewhat flighty with my books (reading based on mood) so usually have an extensive currently-reading pile which I’ll work to finish slowly until they’re due at the library:
Sag harbor, colson whitehead
Indelicacy, Amina Cain
Bad blood, John carreyrou
The other Americans, laila lalami
Fear of flying, Erica jong
Travelers to unimaginable lands, dasha kiper
Once I’ve worked through those, id like to read: james, percival Everett The premonition, banana yoshimoto What are you going through, sigrid nunez
