Failure!
I was the desperate little caboose (with a giant caboose) trying to think his way to the top of the mountain….alas, alack. I failed. I spent too much time on the internets, likely, and not enough focused time inside a book. There’s always next year, yes?
My last three:
83. The Obituary by Gail Scott.
Like, fuck, yeah. Again. More. Again.
84. Revenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed by Jacob Wren
Narrative how narrative was meant to be written, and read. Brutally darkly comic indictment of the political left’s successes and failures. Starkly realistic depiction of human sexual interaction and its fallouts.
85. Poets and Killers: A Life in Advertising by Helen Hajnoczky
Perfect tonic for anyone blindly drunk on Mad Men’s gin.
