Coffee Table Books

These are books that don't need a full readthrough. It's not a story!
Human Errors by Nathan Lents Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar by Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein

Literary Fiction

I don't know what 'literary' generally means, but here I'm making it mean that the words flow like a river, the sentences are pretty, and it's hard to pick a quote because it's the overall reading experience that is enchanting. Books that are not just about plot & players, but also the poetry of the prose.
If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English by Noor Naga The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li Trust by Hernan Diaz The Secret History by Donna Tartt

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Tears of the Anaren by CW Longbottom

Beautiful Mistakes

This shelf is for books that fall short in execution. But that's on me, for disregarding the journey simply because there's no destination. I was disappointed in these titles, but maybe that just means you shouldn't take me to an art gallery.
The Iliac Crest Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
