Okay so this is less a 'best of' and more just... the books I keep pushing into people's hands, mostly bought secondhand because my paycheck already goes to vinyl, don't @ me. Half of these I read on a bench by Jamaica Pond with my coat zipped wrong, so there's probably a little pond-mud on these recommendations, metaphorically. Anyway, in no particular order, so good.
