Their work widened my world view and heartened my belief that in reading we can find the humanity that is too often hidden amid the atrocity and hatred of our times.<br>\u00a0<br>I only dropped out of two books, of which the biggest disappointment was \u201cKairos\u201d by Jenny Erpenbeck, which I\u2019d looked forward to because I\u2019d loved her previous work, \u201cGo Went Gone.\u201d<br>\u00a0<br>People ask about favorites, a list I find hard to delineate because my tastes vary so much. For me, reading is all all-you-can-eat buffet: who\u2019s to say if the mountain of mashed potatoes is better than the thick slabs of sliced roast beef or the gurgling vat of mac and cheese? Still, one must choose, so in lieu of favorites, I offer some of the books that most delighted or surprised me:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Non-fiction:<\/strong> \u201cOn the Plain of Snakes: A Mexican Journey\u201d \u2013 Paul Theroux, a marvelously descriptive and insightful road trip by a septuagenarian explorer through our complex southern neighbor.<br>\u00a0<br><strong>Fiction (in no order):<\/strong> \u201cMy Monticello\u201d (a magnetic mirror on the world); \u201cThe Wrong End of the Telescope\u201d (phenomenal); \u201cSigns Preceding the End of the World\u201d (the bizarre realities of the US-Mexico borderlands); \u201cThe Swimmers\u201d (beautiful simplicity); \u201cThe Sentence\u201d (I hope to read all of Erdrich); \u201cSmall Mercies\u201d (powerful); \u201cThe Great Believers\u201d (so real); \u201cTrain Dreams\u201d (a tasty morsel); and \u201cAsk the Dust\u201d (more John Fante, please).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, for me <strong>audiobooks<\/strong> are mostly filler, but one set of them made me realize I\u2019ve been overlooking one of the world\u2019s most popular authors: The \u201cMr. Mercedes\u201d series by Stephen King.
