My favorite book was Stella Maris.
Chimera was my least favorite. I loved John Barth’s first four books, but I found this one tedious and didn’t enjoy it at all. What a disappointment.
Native Son took the longest to read. It was slow in some parts. Sort of. I liked the beginning. The first parts took place over the course of 24 hrs. What I call a journey — they way a day can be a whole universe unto itself . . . . But the trial part was annoyingly long. Still an enjoyable read.
The surprise contender was The Three Body Problem. I enjoyed the Netflix series, and liked the book even more. Cool ideas and characters. I can’t wait to finish the series.
So not a bad year for reading.
