I do not read many books as they come out as I prefer to hear the opinion of the literary community on a particular book and then make my own judgment so it my be a couple years before I read anything from 2016.

With that being said Gillian Flynn's short story The Grownup was quite good, although that may have come out last year.

I'm interested in reading The Nix, but I've been burned by publishers' marketing techniques for new books before, so I'm waiting until the paperback or I can get a cheap used copy.

I'm also looking forward to Zadie Smith's new book next month.

My votes for 2016 are pic related, Moonstone by Sjon, and Knausgaard's My Struggle 5.

>>8600876

I can't read much of the new things coming out. I had a bad experience with my last two books in 2015 where it was stupid obvious that the author was writing with the thought of trying to appeal to as many audiences as possible.

Does the possibility of hitting it big with a movie deal dilute some of the authors' ability to write or is it just me that gets this weird sense?
