10 New Must Reads for February



So my favorite bookstore just posted this list on Facebook and oddly enough the #1 book was the one I was considering on the bus this morning.



  1. Wise Men - Stuart Nadler
  2. My Brother's Book - Maurice Sendak
  3. How Literature Saved My Life - David Shields
  4. The Love Song of Jonny Valentine - Teddy Wayne
  5. See Now Then - Jamaica Kincaid
  6. The Dinner - Herman Koch
  7. This is Running for Your Life: Essays - Michelle Orange
  8. Vampires in the Lemon Grove - Karen Russell (I still want to read Swamplandia!)
  9. White Girls - Hilton Als
  10. The Office of Mercy - Ariel Djanikian
Which ones are you adding to your reading list?

I think I'm definitely in for Wise Men, The Dinner, Vampires in the Lemon Grove (I have a new appreciation for short stories), and The Office of Mercy.  Part of me almost wants to try to read all ten (sorry bank account) but then again February is the shortest month and I'm sure there will be another 10 new must reads in March.  So many books, so little time.
