Actually, I haven’t had such a great reading year so far, but I’m currently reading “Birnam Wood” by Eleanor Catton and I think it might join the other two books with a quite high rating.

* This year I in particular, Raymond Carver and his short story collection called Cathedral, stands out: They’re very subtle slice of life short stories but the style is just something out of this planet Easily among my favorites now.
* I also adored adored reading “El Aguila y la Serpiente” by Luis Guzman, although it’s hard to recommend here as it pertains to Mexican History. The culture is deeply knit into it, in a way that might not feel the same if you’re not too familiar with it

Weaveworld by Clive Barker. Wow, this book will stick with me for the rest of my life. Very unique and exquisitely written.

Piranesi. Man lives in another parallel world. I’ll leave it at that. Just beautiful and surprising.
