the only thing better then reading one of these books is giving it away, only to buy another. i did with Trust and am on that journey in our Immense World. a heart felt thanks to the other writers and the ecosystems that produced them, their work, and others yet to be written and read.

Awesome list of books exceptional summaries

I have read and enjoyed all five novels. They are terrific. Thanks

thanks for recommendations! so much should be read !

The smell of newly printed books, nothing can replace them.

Re: Under the Skin. I liked when she said the author doesn't appreciate the term mental illness. It's a physical illness like any other, involving the brain. When the separate classification, "mental illness" no longer exists then the stigma may truly fade. In doing so, the subpar care for folks with these challenges, such as myself with bipolar, can improve.

I’m enjoying this very much

I loved the reviews. I just wish the volume had been louder. I couldn't hear it too well.

There are really many more if you have Noticed how many are consumed in a year. I’ve probably read 20-100 books and I also read books from time past. Standing the test of time are writers Who lived lives about a place in an environment that could bring them into full word authenticity. I look for a Stimulus to do my own writing.

As a rabid nonfiction bibliophile, I am always curious how reading books you do not buy yourself, but are part of your job, affect how you view a book, versus the average person who buys a book with their own hard earned money. Personally, I know spending my own money on books encompasses everything from how I am feeling the day I buy a book, a curiosity I may have about a given subject, even the weather. Bought and highly recommend Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation by Linda Villarosa. And Ed Young's An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us With six feet of snow here in our area of the California Sierra, I have been reading Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor,, Sweat: A History of Exercise by Bill Hayes (the author was Oliver Sacks partner), and The Age of Wood: Our Most Useful Material and the Construction of Civilization by Roland Ennos.

Wow... simultaneously reading multiple books !!

I’m loving “Demon Copperhead.”

Wow got really interested about the first one. An immense world. I would've name it "Aliens in our own world" :p

Where's Lisa Lucas or Kiese Laymon. Like Go get your buckets. -point forward podcast. Like really get it.

are these book available on Kindle or audio books?

This video is amazing! You are incredible! You have to check out this book called CONQUEROR MINDSET: CONQUER THE MONSTER

This list is so U.S.-centric

is a book on one of the many religious (over 2000) for profit Corporations... fiction or non fiction?

Utterly delicious...

Who comprises your "books team", please?

other people are suggesting Demon Copperfield, must be great

Belfast, with Dinosaurs, 1979

this could have been an email

No one will tell you this. KZread: Joseph Smith, horror mansion.

Aww too bad NYT overlooked “ Horse” by Geraldine Brooks… a master storyteller. Her work is more than impressive… it’s important, significant and scholarly as well. Brooks teaches through her storytelling.

Here is an interesting idea for a book. Write a non-fiction book that incorporates subjective and objective thoughts. The book has subjective ideas on the left side of the page and objective thoughts on the right, or vice versa. Choose any topic, hot or cold; modern, post modern, and or post-post modern.

@ToriKo_

@@Bookspine5 it seems like a waste of paper to only write a book using the left pages!

It’s really arrogant to think that out of all books published in a year that a group of people can pick ten and call them the best. They have to read thousands of other books to narrow down that number. Any Best of is usually a very biased list.

@harshalbhanarkar

Haven't they read thousands of books already and how are you gonna call any book best? It's the readers like them and us who decided what books are best. In the end only few win.

I disagree, they are reading lots of books looking for the same things readers are looking for, gems, important books you can’t stop thinking about. We readers do this same thing, perhaps we only read in our favorite genres but we look for gems and books we can’t forget. Readers know that of the thousands of books published most are formulated, poorly edited, lazily written. I appreciate what they do, listen to how they describe the process, this is not a random process it’s hard work.

Sounds like you're not a reader, and if you are, it's not having a positive effect on you yet.

If the New York Times likes it, it’s probably a lot of pretentious claptrap.

you gave away too much in the stories

With all due respect i know longer trust the nyt on any score. Goodbye

Nice racial matching between the authors and the reviewers who get to talk about their work. Has to be intentional. Maybe people have pointed out about this in the past, and you want to be on the safe-side.

Must say I don’t like the second introducer on the podium much: From when he audibly slammed down his papers, along the rather boring speech, he seems much entitled, and his tone of delivery is more of a disgruntled boss than a literary person. I think he must have been angered right before that speech…
