A list of books I chewed through in the second quarter of 2019, in rough chronological order:

1. A Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America, by Bruce Cannon Gibney

2. Valiant Gentlemen, by Sabina Murray

3. Dying: A Memoir, by Cory Taylor

4. A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara

5. Exit West, by Mohsin Hamid

6. Autumn, by Ali Smith

7. The Idiot, by Elif Batuman

8. The Underground Railroad, by Colson Whitehead

9. Behold the Dreamers, by Imbolo Mbue

10. Mischling, by Affinity Konar

11. The Mirror Thief, by Martin Seay

12. Before the Fall, by Noah Hawley

13. The Mortifications, by Derek Palacio

14. Here I Am, by Jonathan Safran Foer

15. The Fuzzy and the Techie, by Scott Hartley

16. Grace, by Natashia Deón

17. War and Turpentine, by Stefan Hertmans

The books I bolded, I recommend most highly—although I found many of the others quite tasty as well.

To see what I read in other 2019 quarters, read my lists for Q1 2019, in Q3 2019, and in Q4 2019.
