Stuff I end up pressing into friends’ hands when they come over and pretend not to look at my shelves. Mostly things you can read on a weeknight without hating your day job the next morning. Some are loud, some are slow burns, all are at least a solid seven out of ten in my head, on a good day.

The list

NameWhat it isMy take
1The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V. HigginsBoston low-level crooks talking themselves into corners.Best crime novel if you care more about rhythm of speech than plot gymnastics. Reads like early Scorsese dialogue school.
2Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi CoatesA letter to a son that doubles as an X-ray of America.Short, heavy, very hard to skim. I usually need a quiet bench and then something very dumb on TV after.
3M Train by Patti SmithMemoir that wanders through cafes, grief, and obsessions.The closest thing to sitting in a diner with a friend who actually listens between stories.
4The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkTrauma science and real stories about how it lives in muscles, nerves, habits.Occupational hazard for me. Half underlined, mildly terrifying, extremely useful for understanding why people move like they do.
5No One Is Talking About This by Patricia LockwoodInternet brain meets real life, and they don’t merge cleanly.First half feels like scrolling, second half feels like getting hit by something you didn’t see coming. Efficient emotional whiplash.
