It seems like mere moments, but in fact it’s been nine months since my last post listing the forthcoming books I was looking forward to reading. In most cases the books on that last list were acquired, though I’ve read only four of the nineteen listed, though remain interested in reading the others. This year I’m acquiring fewer books, but the following are mostly irresistible:

2. Michel Houellebecq, Serotonin
3. Denise Riley, Time Lived, Without Its Flow
4. Rachel Mann, A Kingdom of Love
5. Sergio Chejfec, The Incompletes
6. Yiyun Li, Must I Go
7. Karl Ole Knausgaard, In the Land of the Cyclops
8. Naomi Klein, On Fire: The Burning Case for a New Green Deal
9. Fanny Howe, Love and I
10. J. M. Coetzee, The Death of Jesus
11. Roberto Calasso, The Celestial Hunter
12. Vivian Gornick, Unfinished Business: Notes of a Chronic Re-Reader
