When Breath Becomes Air ends where it ends and that's the most honest thing about it.
The Year of Magical Thinking is not a book I could read in a sitting but I kept returning to it.
Post-punk and funk connection is the most underacknowledged influence in the genre's DNA.

Respectfully disagree. Here's my experience: I was skeptical at first but now I'm a convert
The footnotes in Jonathan Strange are as good as the main text. They're doing different work.
The Second Foundation is the book that most changes how you see the first.
A bad narrator ruins even a book you love. I DNF'd an audiobook version of a favorite novel for this reason.
The audiobook narrator who made me fall in love with an author I'd ignored is Frank Muller for Stephen King.
I had the opposite experience — mystery worked great for me
I have never successfully predicted the ending of an Ishiguro novel. This is a feature, not a bug.
Gorgias' argument that nothing exists, and if it did it couldn't be known, and if it could be known it couldn't be communicated, is the most radical surviving sophistic argument. It's also philosophically interesting rather than merely clever.
I buy poetry in physical form even when I buy everything else digitally. The poems need the page.
