Green Honeycreepers (Chlorophanes spiza) are brightly colored tanagers found from southern Mexico to Brazil. Seven subspecies are recognized. This species occurs in the canopy of humid lowland forest. They can be found singly or in pairs and often forage as part of mixed species flocks. Green Honeycreepers consume mostly fruit although they also consume small insects and nectar. The IUCN lists the conservation status of Green Honeycreeper as “Least Concern.” Although the Green Honeycreeper is widespread and common, little is known about many aspects of its natural history. birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/grehon1/cur/introduction

Reddish Egret
BASIC DESCRIPTION (Cornell)
A medium to large heron of shallow salt water, the Reddish Egret comes in a dark and a white form. It is a very active forager, often seen running, jumping, and spinning in its pursuit of fish.
Conservation
There is little information on Reddish Egret population trends or numbers, but the species appears to be declining. The North American Waterbird Conservation Plan estimates a continental population of 6,000-10,000 breeding birds, rates the species about a 15 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score, and lists it as a Species of Moderate Concern. Reddish Egret is on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List, which lists bird species that are at risk of becoming threatened or endangered without conservation action.
On some of the lists of the seven wonders of the world the Taj Mahal is indeed an epic place but probably the most memorable part of the experience for me was the trip from Delhi to Agra. Since I was in India for work I didn't have a lot of time so a colleague and I blocked out a "decompression" day to go from Delhi and Agra and back. But what we didn't realize is that at this time of the year the night and early morning are completely choked with fog - think dense impenetrable fog! Needless to say it was a harrowing drive. The driver we hired originally tried to talk us out of leaving at 4am but we wanted a shot at the morning light - lets just say it was a drive I will never forget. In the end we made it and enjoyed our visit and got some decent light and were able to take a few shots without a ton of people.
The IUCN lists the PAHA as Near Threatened (NT)... beautiful animal... four raptors buzzed all the pond birds this morning - the PAHA, a Black Kite, a Marsh Harrier and a Honey Buzzard... just wow...
Friday the 13th.. driving the new car to Azraq - first trip out of town with it... maybe would not have gone if I had looked at the calendar... anyway, another great birding day at Azraq... this week heading down to Aqaba on the Red Sea for work but bringing my birding rig... should be fun... :-)

Be well dear Flickr friends!
"No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given – when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children..." - Joan Winmill Brown (British actress and writer).
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 12th of December is "dice". Now, I am no taker of risks, nor fan of gambling, so dice are few and far between in my household. However I do have one small Eighteenth Century ivory set of dice. They are tiny - so small in fact that this week, I have decided to place them with two of my 1:12 miniature Christmas presents, keeping up my Christmas theme in my photostream for the month of December. The dice and brightly wrapped Christmas gifts are set against a background of my 1870s edition board of "Jeu de l'Oie" (Game of the Goose). I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
The "Game of the Goose", also known as the "Royal Game of the Goose", is one of the first board games to be commercially manufactured. It is a race game that relies only on dice throws to dictate progression of the players. The board is often arranged in the form of a spiral, with game pieces starting on the most outward part. All spaces on the game board are numbered, with some depicting an illustration of either a goose or a hazard indicating a specified action. The aim of the game is to reach the 63rd space before any of the other players, while avoiding hazards such as the Hotel, the Bridge, and Death. The game is thought to have originated in Italy during the Fifteenth Century, being given by Francesco de Medici as a gift to King Philip of Spain. In the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century, the game gained immense popularity throughout Europe. The game's popularity led it to different adaptations throughout Europe and the United States. Despite numerous adaptations, the rules have mostly remained the same throughout the years.
These Christmas presents are 1:12 artisan pieces. They were hand made by husband and wife artistic team Margie and Mike Balough who own Serendipity Miniatures in Newcomerstown, Ohio.

A sailboat lists on the tide in the aftermath of a vicious Pacific storm. Meanwhile, abandoned Romeo's pier continued to do what it did best before its recent demolition--nothing. I'm quite sure somebody resurrected the drifting sailboat. Sadly, no-one stepped forward to save the historic pier.

There are such subtle differences between these two males. There is more scalloping on the scapulars on this bird. Try saying that one fast. :)

These Highland Cattle are grazing near the village of Ainthorpe in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. This is a field with a good view across Esk Dale. Taken on a windy day
Highland cattle, with their long horns and flowing coats, have spread from the west of Scotland and are instantly recognisable throughout the world. Written records go back to the 18th century and the Highland Cattle Herd Book, first published in 1885, lists pedigrees since that time

"A man walks into a bar. . . .”— the unmistakable prelude to a joke.
This kind of joke is far older than I ever could have thought — it dates back at least to the ancient Sumerians, some 4,000 years ago. As author Mark Forsyth writes in A Short History of Drunkenness, “Sumerians liked jokes. They made lists of them, and some are still recognisably funny, or sort of funny, today.

The red brick corner tenement is 200 W14th St in Manhattan,although NYC property lists it as 62 Seventh Avenue.The 5-story walk-up is called the "Jeanne d'Arc" and it was built 1888-89 by architect James W. Cole,a favorite of the famous Astor family who designed most of their factories and warehouses.The building is a very early example of a "French Flats" building where the French middle-class would live whenever they were in town.Other French Flats followed later on.The NY Times and other critics of the day derided the French Flats saying that they were not that much different than the tenements the poor lived in.The luxury apartments built for the upper class for example had elevators whereas the Flats,built for the middle class,were walkups.The NY Times compared the rooms to "dark cells"because they received little light in them.
The building has two apartments per floor.On the south facing side of the building on the 3rd floor,there is a white stone statue of Joan of Arc who's clad with a helmet,breastplate,and cape and holding a sword and shield..Just underneath the statue,which you can't see here,are the letters "JEAN"with the curved bottom part of the J broken off and the additional two letters "NE" missing due to well-intentioned but poor maintenance work.See tag below for a better picture of the statue.Why they called the building the "Jeanne d'Arc" when the statue on it is of Joan of Arc is a mystery to me,but C'est la vie:-)
♫People making lists, buying special gifts
Taking time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year when good friends are near
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love♫
Wikipedia lists 38 granite domes that can be found in Yosemite National Park. This one is called Lembert Dome, named for Jean Baptiste Lembert, who homesteaded nearby in 1865. It towers about 800' (244m) above Tuolomne Meadows, a small portion of which is seen in the foreground. There's a hike to the top that starts from the back, and rock climbers challenge it from this side.
hot and spicy lamb bhuna cooked, bone removed, ready to box for the freezer to eat as and when flic.kr/p/2qJAaoH
lamb bhuna recipe www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKjk3gEi8PI
the meaning of 'bhuna'
an Indian dish or sauce in which spices are dry-roasted in a pan and then combined with a moistening agent such as yogurt or water.
the word 'bhuna' refers to the cooking method of this dish, and means 'to fry' or 'fried'. usually the spices are fried gently, before adding the meat.
originating in bengal, bhuna is a hot curry and doesn’t come swimming in sauce. it’s usually a thick sauce, with just enough to cling to the meat.

TV Week Logie Nominations In Sydney, Australia; News And Lists
Tonight in Sydney, Australia it's the TV Week Logies Nominations.
Karl Stefanovic is battling to snatch back-to-back Gold Logies after nominations for the TV Week industry awards were announced today.
After surprising many media and entertainment commentators including this agency by snatching the major prize last year, the Channel 9 Today co-host got both a Silver and Gold for most popular presenter on Australian TV.
Karl will fight the ABC's Adam Hills, Offspring star Asher Keddie, The Project co-host Carrie Bickmore, ex Home & Away siren Esther Anderson and Nine comedian presenter Hamish Blake for the top honours when the TV Week Logies are awarded on April 15.
Channel 7 leads the network pack, with 32 nominations across 22 categories, followed by Ten (26 nominations), the ABC (22 nominations), Nine (21 nominations), pay TV operator Foxtel (eight nominations) and SBS (seven nominations).
While Packed To The Rafters favourite Rebecca Gibney was overlooked for a Gold Logie nod this year, she is squared off against her TV daughter Jessica Marais for Silver as most popular actress.
Also in the running for Silver was Asher Keddie, acknowledged for her double effort - playing Nina Proudman on Ten's romantic comedy, Offspring, and publishing maverick Ita Buttrose in the ABC1 docu-drama, Paper Giants: The Birth Of Cleo.
Making their Silver Logie nomination debut are Danielle Cormack (Kate Leigh in Nine's Underbelly Razor) and Esther Anderson (Charlie Buckton on Seven's soap Home & Away).
In the TV fight for the boys, the Silver Logie for most popular actor will be fought between Daniel MacPherson (Wild Boys, Channel 7), Eddie Perfect (Offspring, Ten), Erik Thomson (Packed To The Rafters, Channel 7), Hugh Sheridan (Packed To The Rafters, Channel 7) and Ray Meagher (Home & Away, Channel 7).
Despite turning her back on a TV career for a spot on Melbourne breakfast radio this year, Chrissie Swan secured a nomination as most popular presenter for her role on Ten's morning chat show, The Circle.
The nominations were held at Sydney's Park Hyatt, hosted by Nine's Natalie Gruzlewski and Ten's Bondi Vet, Chris Brown.

Finished now. Not altogether satisfying, and not one of his best. But it had a lot of the touches that Pynchon readers expect (sentences with lists that give you whiplash... "wait for it" Dad jokes, ambiguity and feelings of dislocation).
Glad I read it, not sure what else I would have read instead.
01. I read in another one of these lists that the person was amused by people who refuse to use Photoshop etc. I have to say that I'm totally in agreement. Photoshop and it's ilk are merely digital versions of old film techniques that photographers have used since forever. Just take a look at Man Ray's photos and tell me that they're not post-processed.
02. That being said... I dislike the whole process of editing my photos and I try to keep it to a bare minimum. I'd rather be out taking photos or looking at other's photos on flickr!
03. I also dislike getting up early for dawn photos. Even though I know it's going to be the best light, I dread doing it. I'm a night-owl actually and that's why I like to experiment with night photography.
04. After getting my first L Series lens I am now addicted to them. I can't bear to use my old lenses any more haha.
05. Some of the first people to show a real interest in my photos at flickr were stooblack, mags_Tag and nottooshabby. To them I will be eternally grateful and they have a special place in my heart. Now I have lots of great flickr friends just like you too!
06. I love going and taking photos with my friends. My host in Melbourne, Frank is a wonderful photography partner. I've also had the good fortune to meet and go on little photo excursions with Mouzhik, kierobau and nottooshabby.
07. My favourite photographic accessory is my Canon RC1 wireless remote. I would be lost without it. "Lost" is an appropriate word, because I have managed to lose this little beauty on several occasions, but fortunately have been able to find it eventually.
08. My favourite filter is my Cokin Graduated ND8 Filter. It's saved me from many a blown out sky in my landscape shots.
09. My favourite old school photographer is Man Ray. My favourite modern photographer is Peter Lik.
10. I love learning new photographic techniques and experimenting with them. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
11. My next big photographic adventure will be in March if all goes to plan. Den and I are planning to go to Japan for a couple of weeks and hopefully the cherry blossoms will be in bloom.
12. I'm eternally grateful to my partner Dennis for being my general packhorse when he comes taking photos with me. I've almost got him trained to know all the lenses haha. He's very patient too.
13. My current photographic obsession is portraiture. It's hard to find people to be your model as you go through the learning process though.
14. That's one of the reasons I started this 365 Project, so that I could practice on myself and try different techniques.
15. Phew, nearly there... Until photography took over my life, I used to be a real computer geek. I read all the magazines etc. Now all I read about is photography!
16. Finally... I'm going to use this opportunity to tag Mouzhik! Yay, I'm finished.
let me live that fantasy
heart to heart, seasons apart, such is our long distance friendship<3
I leave this coming Monday for Italy, stopping in France for some pictures and sight seeing first. Then off to Rapallo ,Genova, Milan, Pisa and then Cagliari Sardegna, So much left to do still..................my lists just seem to grow , while the time is counting down!
I had so much fun collaborating with my sis Kalli , of course I was late in completing mine lol
Link to Kalli's picture www.flickr.com/photos/kallistodestinyl/10412897134/
I like lists. Recently I've seen a few "X number of things I want to do before turning X" lists and liked the idea of them. My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and the list took ages to sort out but finally, here it is. I'm not turning 30 but I like round numbers.
01. Celebrate my birthday with a cupcake and a candle.
02. Go ten-pin bowling.
03. Grab lunch at the Bratwurst Shop and American Doughnut Van.
04. Begin a photo project.
05. Fall in love with two new records/artists.
06. Go on a photo safari every couple months.
07. Send handwritten things in the post.
08. Catch a train to somewhere new.
09. Eat a freshly made waffle.
10. Take a photo in every photobooth I come across.
11. Run on the treadmill for five minutes without having a heart attack.
12. Take a sewing class.
13. Buy a pair of second-hand roller skates from the 80s.
14. Ride a bike.
15. Surprise someone.
16. See a play.
17. Toast a marshmallow.
18. Take three road trips. Draft a will.
19. Put at least of one roll of film through the Holga and the Lubitel.
20. Find my signature karaoke tune.
21. Clean out the closet. For real this time.
22. Start and finish Lego Batman with Dan.

Antwerp's Central Station still appears on lists as one of the world's most beautiful stations. I've been using this station on a daily basis, but it has been a long time since I've made some photo's there. The electrification of the line between Antwerp and Mol was a good reason: some diesel hauled services would be replaced by electric trains. So my plan was to shoot some diesel trains under the magnificent metal-and-glass dome. Today these units can still be seen here, but SNCB mostly couples them together for more capacity. Trains with one single railcar don't come here anymore, I think.

Wikipedia: Kraków's Main Square (Polish: Rynek Główny w Krakowie) is the main market square of the Old Town in Kraków, Poland, and a principal urban space located at the center of the city. It dates back to the 13th century, and — at roughly 40,000 m² (430,000 ft²) — is the largest medieval town square in Europe. The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) lists the square as the best public space in Europe due to its lively street life. The Main Square is a spacious square surrounded by historic townhouses (kamienice), palaces and churches. The center of the square is dominated by the Sukiennice (the Cloth Hall or Drapers' Hall), rebuilt in 1555 in the Renaissance style, topped by a beautiful attic or Polish parapet decorated with carved masks. On one side of the Sukiennice is the Town Hall Tower (Wieża ratuszowa), on the other the 10th century Church of St. Wojciech (St. Adalbert's) and 1898 Adam Mickiewicz Monument. Rising above the square are the Gothic towers of St. Mary's Basilica (Kościół Mariacki). During the occupation of Poland, the square was named Adolf Hitler Platz.
A female Madeiran banded bee (four abdominal bands not five) locating her burrow in the colony on Funchal Lido Promenade They hover over an area for a few seconds before hitting the burrow at speed and vanishing making photography a little challenging.
Note that some web sources list this bee as a separate species (Amegilla maderae), but I'm following the taxonomy in iNaturalist which lists it as a subspecies.

I make lists. They are a form of therapy in themselves … it just feels good to empty my head of the day's to-dos. Occasionally, I mistake that feeling of release with the fact that I actually accomplished something. But then the list is just longer the next day.
Today though my duties required attention so I made myself a deal. Get items 1 - 12 done and then you can go play.
It's a trick I often use with myself - and it works.
Now on to #13. If you need some encouragement … here's a lovely new texture pack ! So awesome always...
I'm finally settled in enough in my new house to get out with the camera. We downsized to a "garden condo" very close to our old house. Now my "yard" is a lovely meadow with a pond and nice area of woods. I am excited to start an Ode list! This little Familiar Bluet is covered with mites but has what looks like a yummy midge?
Wikipedia lists five types of Caterpillar social behaviour: Collective and cooperative foraging, group defence against predators, shelter building, thermoregulation and lastly substrate silking.
This clump were totally static while I photographed them. So maybe it's thermoregulation (i.e. collectively preserving heat/energy) or group defence.
If group defence (which was my theory) I'd prefer to be on the inside, thank you. Come to think of it, it's very cold tonight, so both ways, better to be on the inside.
Interestingly I learned elsewhere that caterpillars have been recorded walking in layers, three or four deep. In other words, they're able to create their own airport travelator effect. Two layers, and the average speed will be around 1.5x of a single head-to-tail layer. Three layers can yield an average speed of around double that of a single layer.
Hope they all become beautiful butterflies soon.

And with madness, my work week comes to an end. Today was just absolutely insane, it started up as soon as I walked through the doors to the building, not through the doors to my office area, but to the building and didn't stop until I was finally able to leave for the day.
I left a pile of little things and to-do lists throughout the cubicle, but those weren't essential and they can wait until Monday.
Glad to be free, and excited to pick up Sylvia later on this evening!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Bazylika Mariacka
St. Mary's Church, or formally the Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Brick Gothic Roman Catholic church located in central Gdańsk, Poland. With its volume between 185,000 m³ and 190,000 m³ it is currently one of the two or three largest brick churches in the world. Wikipedia
Rynek Główny
The main square (Rynek Główny) of the Old Town of Kraków, Lesser Poland, is the principal urban space located at the center of the city. It dates back to the 13th century, and at 3.79 ha (9.4 acres) is the largest medieval town square in Europe. The Project for Public Spaces (PPS) lists the square as the best public space in Europe due to its lively street life, and it was a major factor in the inclusion of Kraków as one of the top off-the-beaten-path destinations in the world in 2016.

Some lists show the Sugar Maple as being a Carolinian Species. I'll sort it out. We have a wonderful Arboretum nearby- part of The Royal Botanical Gardens properties. Must go for a trip and see what I can find out. We are VERY fortunate here to have such a wealth of FABULOUS trees!!
The truth is I hate everyone. All the time. Except you of course.
Which is why I offer you this unique opportunity to share with us all, using the handy ‘comment’ box below, who you hate today.

As usual, I have to state that these were not all books published this year. These were just books that I read this year. But does time even exist anyway? Not when you're reading a great book! There are so many books that came out this year that I am looking forward to reading-The Last Dream by Pedro Almodovar (I enjoy his movies so I am intrigued what this book will be like!), The Mighty Red by Louise Eldrich, The City and Its Uncertain Walls by Haruki Murakami, and Playground by Richard Powers are all on my list but first I have to finish the four books I am in the middle of-Annihalation by Michel Houellebecq, There is a Rio Grande in Heaven by Ruben Reyes Jr., Pageboy by Elliot Page and The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I find if I try to read more than 4 books at once I get a little discombobulated and I never seem to find time to read everything I want!
I should also state for the record that I typically read somewhere between 200-250 books per year. This year more than ever was the year I read Japanese and Korean best sellers that I am guessing would be seen as every day paperback fiction if you were to reside in those counties. For me, though, I could forgive my addiction as they are a glimpse into a different culture. Some of these include the series The Restaurant of Lost Recipes by Hisashi Kashiwai, The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki, The Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee, Before the Coffee Gets Cold series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, and finally What You Are Looking For is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama
The best of these was perhaps The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi in which characters recreate a moment from their life to cherish as they pass along to the afterlife. It was perhaps a bit too short for my tastes and borrowed too much of the idea from one of my favorite films, After Life by Hirokazu Kore-eda but other than that, I would recommend it. A close second was Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-Reum, which explored literature, coffee, and going on your own path vs. one defined by common expectations and capitalism.
Also honorable mention for memoirs (I read a ton of them, too): Knife by Salman Rushdie and I Heard Her Call My Name by Lucy Sante
Here are some other novels that I felt were worth mentioning that I read this year and I'd love to hear yours! Broadcast (dilute tort) and Jarvis Cocker (tuxie) were both compensated for this photoshoot. Protect Trans Kids! Read Banned Books! Here we go:
The Extinction of Irena Ray by Jennifer Croft
I cherished this book so much....the imaginative premise relates to giving a voice to the translators of a novelist who become disoriented and obsessed with tracking her down when she goes missing. It's a really dynamic and fun read and thoroughly enjoyable from an intellectual standpoint. The characters are so well delineated based on their language and country of origin as well. I could vividly imagine several of these conversations.

There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak
Shafak is one of the world’s greatest living authors! I have loved many of her books and have felt lucky to have discovered them. Though this wasn’t number one for my year, I still greatly enjoyed the idea of water as a protagonist and the way that she intervened historical events and different protagonist that alternated between timelines Here. She also inspired me to research the Yadizi people and the harm done to them, which is quite an atrocity. I think the most interesting thing sometimes about this author is how she can skip across so many centuries of time as if it were nothing to her. However, the way that she does, it puts certain things like artifacts and water in a certain context, which is very interesting.

Sky Full of Elephants by Cebo Campbell
What if white people all just drowned themselves and the world continued? That's the premise of this very interesting and creative book that has a really good balance of character development and plot and explores different reactions to this event as well as all of the different ways racism manifests. Very well written and worth reading. I didn't honestly find it as unsettling as many did.

Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar
I fell hard for this one. The main character of Cyrus Shams and his quest for meaning in life and some of the unexpected turns was really something. I also think it made interesting statements about dual identities , addiction, mental health, and performance art as well. There's a great deal about family here and the complexities of being human and trying to exist in this modern world. A very complex character development and a well crafted story make this one highly recommended.

Golem Girl by Riva Lehrer
This is an important memoir about being born with Spina Bifida in 1958 and surviving despite the lack of medical advances and very limited schooling options. Lehrer is not just a surviver but she is also a highly interesting artist. In the first part of the book, she talks a lot about her small school, Jewish culture, and her family life but as the story unfolds, she speaks more about her relationships and her art work.

Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird by Agustina Bazterrica
Ok you might be getting the idea that I love the art and craft of a bizarre short story. These were just a little sinister in nature-some of them-with such a variety of topics but also again quite strange...I love the short stories that keep me on my feet and take me places that I couldn't predict! Argentinian authors are really starting to emerge on the experimental fiction scene in a big way right now, too, I have noticed and I am here for it! Tender is the Flesh was also wondrous and she has a new novel coming out in the spring entitled The Unworthy.

Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris
I really didn't know too much about the siege of Sarajevo 1992-1996, which this is based on with a mix of her own family history and accounts from others, Morris weaves together the story of Zora, who is a painter (mainly of bridges before the war) and who is caught in the midst of war and desperately trying to survive. You get the feeling she is stuck...she feels she cannot leave her paintings but she also cannot stay in the midst of the utter destruction and danger. You get the sense of her as a person and her thought processes as well as her neighbors and a little bit about the complexity and chaos of the war itself. Most of all, you care for Zora the way you would want to look after a dear friend.
Often, I find people who don't create anything and it is always very odd to me. They don't write, draw, paint, photograph, etc. They just exist and consume the work of others. But, when you are a certain type of person, you live to create and you create to live. It's a symbiotic relationship. I couldn't exist each day without creating something out of it. That's the type of human Zora is too and I don't often connect as deeply in literature as I did with her.

Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata
Murata is super weird in a good way. These stories made me question our current traditions in life and where they might be headed in the future. It also made me contemplate life and death (and also at times food/eating) in new ways. I should put in a warning that I started telling my partner, Cinchel, about some of them, he made me stop because he was so grossed out. I just thought it was really bizarre, intersesting and wholly original.

James by Percival Everett
Listen, I was in love with Everett before American Fiction. I've read all of his works and they all deal with racism in different ways. Many of them are actually a little absurd and overly intellectual like I Am Not Sidney Poitier and Glyph (I actually like those quite a bit). James is more of a historical piece based on the character from Huckleberry Finn who wasn't given this much of a voice, of course. Actually, I haven't even read Huckleberry Finn or much of the old white male classics to be honest. They don't speak to me and are too rooted in our "American tradition of literature" blah blah blah forcefed to children in schools. I had enough of it when I was there.
I digress. I liked the quote from Everett that he hopes he wrote the novel that Mark Twain did not and that's probably all I should have to tell you to get you to read this.

Sociopath by Patric Gagne
This book was super important for me to read as someone trying to understand why some children and then grown ups make the choices they do. I've always been the exact opposite of a sociopath and felt an empathy towards people that is overpowering and sometimes feels even crippling. So, it was really interesting for me to try to explore the thought processes of someone who is completely different from me. Reading this book was just bizarre but I still found it very valuable and it is apparently the first of its kind to be written by someone who self identifies as a Sociopath.

Forgottenness by Tanja Maljartschuk
I feel a little nervous about putting this on my list because I really don't know all of the historical figures and history between the relationship with the Ukraine and Poland in particular. This spans from the 1920s era until present day and explores Ukrainian identity and politics on one hand (especially in the alternating chapters of the past) and the sense of loneliness and agoraphobia for our present day protagonist. There are a few different historical figures featured here but the main one is Viacheslav Lypynskyi. This is apparently the first novel written in Ukrainian to be published in a major US trade house, which explains why I haven't really read any others and why I also felt it should make my list.

Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino
I think the title of this novel is actually a bit misleading. To me, this book really speaks to being a keen observer of all of the absurdities and contradictions of human life and feeling like a constant outsider. I literally laughed out loud several times while reading this and found it immensely entertaining! Adina might be an alien...she might be on the spectrum. She might be an alien on the spectrum. Either way, she is hilarious and very lovable as our protagonist.

Your Utopia by Bora Chung
Another short story author I will never get tired of ever. Her wildly speculative fiction takes you on adventures you least expect and keep you guessing as to what you might read next. Wholly engaging and a wild ride into postmodern thought and possibilities.

Suggested in the Stars by Yoko Tawada
I will always love books that are a little experimental in nature and question our relationship to language, in particular. I enjoyed these characters in the first of this series, Scattered All Over the Earth and I would say it is necessary to start there as this a continuation of that journey. Inventive, captivating, and engaging. I was so excited when this came out and I was not disappointed.

The Mark and the Void by Paul Murray
I actually read three books by Murray this year-The Bee Sting and Skippy Dies in the End but this was my absolute favorite. A brilliant work of experimental fiction with so many plot twists that I couldn't put it down. Incredibly well written and one that turns the tenants of capitalism on its head a bit. Great work and so much adventure!

Honeybee and Distant Thunder by Riku Onda
I loved Onda's The Aosawa Murders so much but I wasn't sure I would like this one because I am not really a huge fan of classical music and the plot revolves around a classical music recital competition but the way that Onda describes the music and simultaneously develops the characters and the passion for their pieces, it was like I could suddenly hear them in my head as I read through. A very thrilling read that celebrates the love and connectedness of people throughout time and notes.

Memory Piece by Lisa Ko
This book was just as horrifying as it was riveting...a book about art, culture, friendship, and the apocalypse. This book actually feels pretty epic in terms of time span and the events that unfold but it is another one on this list that fits so well in that balance of character development and plot. A dystopian postmodern intellectual journey.
www.theguardian.com/books/2024/mar/24/memory-piece-by-lis...
Present Tense Machine by Gunnhild Øyehaug
This is such an interesting read....the idea that you might misread a word and suddenly another parallel timeline opens up....I love books that explore quantum mechanics like this and, though it became difficult at times to recall the context of each character and what they were doing in the other timeline, I thought this was so inventive and unique!

Horizontal Vertigo: A City Called Mexico by Juan Villoro
I greatly enjoyed all of the diverse topics of this work of nonfiction by the acclaimed Villoro. I haven't yet been to Mexico but this book made me feel like I understood so many facets of Mexico City from the characters to the beliefs. For non fiction, it is also one of the most engaging reads while at the same time greatly informative.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
I wasn’t honestly expecting to like this book so much, but it was very engaging and really spoke to the early feminist movement in the late 1950s-1960s for a woman who just really wanted to be a chemist and known for this and to be able to support herself. This is an author whose first book was published just now while she is quite of an advanced age, but I hope she has more stories to tell us. This book is very engaging and funny but I loved the way it explored sexism in the Sciences. Also, the dog in the book is truly a joy!
