These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.

Tenth of December by George Saunders. Why this book? Because it's short stories so even if you don't read the whole book, you can still talk about it. Also, the stories are really loving good. Best ones: Semplica Girl Diaries, Escape from Spiderhead, Puppy, The Tenth of December. But they're all really really worth reading.

Seconding this rec.

Also his new (and first) novel, Lincoln in the Bardo, is real good, and there's a part where Abraham Lincoln gets inhabited by a naked ghost with a huge boner. It's a pretty cspam book imo.

I just finished reading Human Acts by Han Kang, and it's pretty drat good. Also an interesting look at South Korea's Gwangju uprising, which is a topic I knew almost nothing about.
