Have we read all of the NBA fiction longlist books? We have not. Do we have thoughts on the ones we have read? We do! Jessica Anthony! Amazing! But we also read a bunch of other books for this episode, even if Sam has trouble remembering which ones (much as he could not remember the word "seersucker"). Here's what's on tap:
- All of the National Book Award Longlist for Fiction. Find it here. A lot of great choices; a few headscratchers!
- "The Life Impossible," by Matt Haig. It's uplifting! About grief and getting past it.
- More on "The Light Pirate," which starts kind of boring but gets awesome.
- "You Are Here," by David Nicholls. Yes, now Sam has read it, too.
- "Brooklyn," by Colm Tóibín. Hannah's not sure why people love it so much. What is she missing?
- "Clark and Division," by Naomi Hirahara. Sam doesn't like historical fiction, but he likes this.
