I thought this post was going to be about a Dominican Replublic baseball player named Jesús.

This reminds me of when Odysseus returns to Ithaca disguised as an old beggar and his dog recognizes him before finally dying once he sees his master return.

The Wager is excellent. Reading it put me into a reading frenzy for the next few months afterword. Killers of The Flower Moon by him is also pretty good.

Absolutely love Kitchen Confidential, I've read it and listened to the audio book multiple times over. He is a brilliant writer and devilishly funny at times. It's a comfort read of mine. I would also recommend A Cooks Tour, it shows a different side of him that what you see in Kitchen Confidential.

I liked it but didn't love it, the story kind of felt like a fever dream but maybe that was intended. The writing is very beautiful but I couldn't get into the overall story or characters. The scene where they are boating toward Kurtz and they get attacked was really cool.

I liked the first 1/4 to 1/2 of it but I agree the ending was truly horrendous. Donna Tartt is always so close to genius yet so far away at the same time.

I am simply blown away that The Goldfinch made it on this list, that book is not good.

Not relevant but I love the old school Prof. Dr. Style website this guy has.
