Belated: put me down for 100 books in 2018. If anyone's on Goodreads and wants to be friends, add me here! My reading this year is taking a different tack. At the end of 2017, I compiled a list of ~80 books I really wanted to read in 2018, and have been somewhat successful so far: about 50% of my reading in January/February is from the 'planned' list. January: Lucifer's Hammer - L Niven Homesick for Another World - O Moshfegh Saga, vol 6 Saga, vol 7 Saga, vol 8 Fire and Fury - M Wolff LSD: My Problem Child - A Hoffman The History of Love - N Krauss The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories about Facing the Unknown - Assort. In the Distance - H Diaz Her Body and Other Parties - C Maria Machado Eileen - O Moshfegh February: Rebecca - D de Maurier Freya - A Quinn The Ballad of Black Tom - V LaValle Exit West - M Hamid Future Home of the Living God - L rdrich The Power - N Alderman Hunger - K Hamsun Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube - B Braverman 300 Arguments - S Manguso The Plot Against America - P Roth

Guy A. Person posted:2018 Reading Challenge Theme Week #2 - Read something by a woman I read this and Alderman's "The Power" back-to-back and enjoyed both for different reasons. Ultimately, my criticism of Future Home of the Living God was that - despite so much potential - there just wasn't enough exploration of politics / racism / misogyny / etc. It was gripping and entertaining, but fell short. Please post your impression of it when you're done.
