(I already preordered Katie Schmid's Forget Me / Hit Me / Let Me Drink Great Quantities of Clear, Evil Liquor.) Some of my favorite books ( The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel, Why Did I Ever by Mary Robison, and Nevers by Megan Martin all come to mind immediately) are strong female voices, so bring them on in 2016. Just like I made it a goal to read more indie lit last year, this year I need to read more books by women. (smarter than I?) (FUCK.)Īnyway, I had a great time reading again all the way back in 2015. Don't worry, you're still probably smarter than me.
Those book/page numbers sound impressive until you realize how many comic book trade paperbacks I read. The longest book (592 pages) is Blankets by Craig Thompson. The shortest book (19 pages) is Gwen Beatty's Kill Us On the Way Home. So, I read a decent amount of indie lit but also deleted my Facebook because, holy fuck, you writer people sure do whine about a lot of bullshit.Īccording to Goodreads, I read 171 books for a total of 26,500 pages.
I made an effort to read more indie lit this year and try to get involved in the community more, which ended up being great, because I'm full of shit for about half of the things I say.
