    Top Books First Read in 2017

    We're three months in, so what have you been reading so far this year. For me, it's been filling in the blind spots with Lahiri's work. I expect that later this year I'll visit one of her novels. Also, Kang's novel on the Gwangju Uprising was incredibly powerful--great prose and style after I found The Vegetarian merely good.

    Each year at this time I find myself turning to the Tournament of Books, which is its own March Madness styled bracket where a set of novels from the past year compete against one another. Several books make it from there onto my "to-read" pile pretty much immediately...

    1. Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreter of Maladies: Stories
    2. Han Kang’s Human Acts
    3. Zadie Smith’s On Beauty
    4. Edna O’Brien’s The Little Red Chairs
    5. Ian McGuire’s The North Water
    6. Charlie Jane Anders’s All the Birds in the Sky
    7. Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth: Stories
    8. Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees: Stories
    9. Peter Ho Davies’s The Fortunes
    10. Chris Bachelder’s Throwback Special
    [
    ]

    Plays
    Frank Chin’s The Chickencoop Chinaman and Year of the Dragon: Two Plays
    The Boat People - 9
    The Power of the Dog - 7.5
    The King of Pigs - 7

    Jung's final work was sorta tedious when it tried to tie any dream to Jung's preconceived notions of what the symbols meant. As much as he wants to suggest the elasticity of symbols, the entire process stank of confirmation bias to me. But it was a fascinating book anyway, and its exploration of mythic symbols was useful given my familiarity with Joseph Campbell remixing ideas from Jung.

    And The Bacchae was phenomenal. Expected to "appreciate" it for literary merit, but the drama kicked in hard. Beyond its symbology and messaging, it's just good clean story.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Book V is the best of the series, my favorite single King book. Love book VII as well. Book VI has some amazing moments. I'd love to read an entire trilogy on the Tet Corporation protecting the Rose from Sombra. King could do some really cool things with corporate horror and supernatural espionage.

    Book V
    Book III
    Book II
    Book I
    Book VII
    Book VI
    Book IV

    This order was solidified after my 6th re-read of the series.
