The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia by Masha Gessen I cannot wait for Jade War to come out next year. Fonda Lee is a fantastic author – I’ve read all her books so far and this is the best one yet. Fantastic secondary East Asian, post-WWII-esque universe with magic, martial arts, and complex, fucked up personal, familial, clan, national, and international politics, sharp, tense, fast-paced, evocative writing, and the kind of oh-so-all-encompassing character-centric fiction I love to sink into and love myself and entire senses in make this book so fucking good. This was the first fiction book I read in 2018, and hoboy, it set a high standard for all books I read following it for the rest of the year. Not sure why that is, but there you have it.Īs usual, this list is in chronological order of when I read them. Going through my Goodreads list to write this post, I realized that all my favorite books were front-loaded into the first half of the year. For the past five months or so I’ve had a hard time concentrating on reading, and it felt like I read few books that were especially noteworthy or good this year. I thought coming up with my favorite reads of 2018 would be difficult.
