What’s on your current reading list? Or what have you read that you’d recommend? 

I don’t really keep a reading list — I just scoop up handfuls of whatever looks good at the library, or used bookstores, or wherever. But here’re two lists — one of good books I’ve read this year, then some of my all-time favorites. Presented without commentary :)
