Contemporary Literature

What literature have you read that has been published recently, say within the last decade? Books of any kind, novel or otherwise, fiction or non-fiction.

I ask because I, to my recollection, have not read anything at all published later than this

Reading My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. Want to finish the Neapolitan Cycle because I like it a lot. It also makes we want to read My Struggle by Knausgard.

Read this. I will probably read " A Little Life" if it comes to the library.

Norm Macdonald's "memoir". Wasn't bad.

Has anybody here read any truly awful books recently?

Feel morbidly curious after consuming good shit so much

Nightwood by Djuna Barnes. Utter shit.

bleeding edge is better than people give it credit for

People who can read spanish should read this

That looks good, added to my list.
Some books I like or loved that were published in the last ~5 years:

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
