Theft by Finding: Diaries 1977-2000 by David Sedaris

For forty years, David Sedaris kept a diary in which he recorded everything that captured his attention. A great reminder there’s no such thing as a boring day. This book is his masterpiece.

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders

This novel based on the death of Lincoln’s son, Willie, unfolds in a graveyard over the course of a single night. For me, the best novel of 2017.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer

A bittersweet romance of chances missed, this touching story about a gay man traveling the world just before turning fifty made me roar with laughter.

Anything Is Possible by Elizabeth Strout

A collection of short stories that continues the story of Lucy Barton. Strout gets better with every book she writes.

Hunger by Roxane Gay

A searingly honest memoir about food, weight and self image. If you have food issues, body issues, or have ever caught yourself being judgmental (doesn’t that cover all of us?) then this book is for you.
