| Item | Type | Year | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piranesi Susanna Clarke | Book | 2020 | ★★★★★ | The House. The transgressive thinking. A novel that finds my exact wavelength. |
| Rejection Tony Tulathimutte | Book | 2024 | ★★★★★ | Short stories that stick like tar — and a final piece that's prescient enough to think about for years. |
| The Mysteries Bill Watterson · John Kascht | Book | 2023 | ★★★★★ | Watterson and Kascht give adults the fable they didn't know they needed. |
| Calvin and Hobbes Bill Watterson | Book | 1995 | ★★★★★ | Perhaps the most formative work in my reading life — Watterson distilling the universe into a teacup. |
| Walden Henry David Thoreau | Book | 1854 | ★★★★★ | The book I return to most. Read it slowly; read it twice. |
