what a fabulous list ana!!! my top ten is comprised of: 10. misery by stephen king 9. bonjour tristesse by francoise sagan 8. in cold blood by truman capote 7. the book of goose by yiyun li 6. one flew over the cuckoos nest by ken kesey 5. a room with a view by e.m. forster 4. remains of the day by kazuo ishiguro 3. city of girls by elizabeth gilbert 2. tom lake by ann patchett 1. the humans by matt haig cheers to another year of reading!!!
I planned it out when I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the book I read after was The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe, which is quite a ride! Wikipedia describes it nicely, "The book presents a firsthand account of the experiences of Ken Kesey and a group of psychedelic enthusiasts, known as the Merry Pranksters, who traveled across the United States in a colorfully-painted school bus they called Furthur. Kesey and the Pranksters became famous for their use of psychedelic drugs (such as LSD) to achieve expansion of their consciousness. The book chronicles the Acid Tests (parties with LSD-laced Kool-Aid) and encounters with notable figures of the time (Hells Angels, Grateful Dead, Allen Ginsberg), and describes Kesey's exile to Mexico and his arrests." I hope you read it as well since it ties heavily into Ken Kesey's persona embodied by his book One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
OMG Dogs of Summer is my number 1 book of the year and it's so exciting to see it so high in your list. i'm from the island where the book is set in and connected with it in a very personal level, but i definitely believe it transcends language, culture and time. so happy to see you love it too.
I love these annual favourites because I always come across interesting books that I've never heard of before and that I immediately have to put on my 'to read' list, haha. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is just such a wonderful book! It was one of the first books I read that really made me think about existence. It taught me so much about the beauty and complexity of life in all its colours and facets. I even got the book cover tattooed on my arm last year :)
Trust and Stoner are both amazing novels. Too many people give up on Trust because of how the story is told. Stoner is a great character-driver novel that gets so overlooked.
So grateful to you for getting me into more classical and literary reading this year. We may not have the exact taste in books but I will watching anything and everything you post ❤️☺️ Happy New year Ana
What a great list!! I only read 17 books this year but here’s my top ten: 10. The Fran Lebowitz reader by Fran Lebowitz 9. L’Érotisme by Georges Bataille 8. Blue Nights by Joan Didion 7. The Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka 6. Green Grass, Running Water by Thomas King 5. Bunny by Mona Awad 4. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck 3. The Road by Cormac McCarthy 2. 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami 1. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky Probably my best year for reading tbh, and I discovered your channel which is another plus! I never would’ve picked up Steinbeck or 1Q84 this year if you hadn’t talked so highly about them in your videos. Thanks for a great year, can’t wait to see what 2025 will bring :)
1Q84 and Bunny were my top books of last year and The Idiot is one of my most anticipated reads for 2025 :) East of Eden, The Passion According to G.H, Septology, and Stoner are my top books of this year. Please everyone read these four books if you haven’t yet! ❤️✨
@@kassiemckay30passion according to G.H., east of eden, and stoner are all on my list for 2025!! I’m really looking forward to reading those, a friend of mine recommended that I read east of eden and martyr! by kaveh akbar back-to-back bc they’re so similar to each other almost like companion novels. Can’t wait for you to read the idiot, it’s my favourite Dostoevsky novel of all time! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
I obsessively loved that list, well done! Exciting titles! Thks for putting it out there and if I may say, a natural talent for it, as well. Looking forward to see all that's to come. 🎉❤
My favorite books of the year that I would also recommend to you, Ana: 1. The White Album - Joan Didion 2. Burial Rites - Hannah Kent 3. The Lying Life of Adults - Elena Ferrante 4. Babel - R.F. Kuang 5. After Dark - Haruki Murakami
What a great reading year. Glad I found your channel of comfort viewing. My top books of the year were House of Psychotic Women by Kier-La Janisse and The Fisherman by John Langan. Also Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, I know they are basic choices but so so so so we’ll written and enjoyable.
Stoner is on my list of must read before I die, and a Tree Grows in Brooklyn will hopefully be read next year! Top books of the year for me were: 10. 1Q84, Murakami🍒🍒🍒🌚🌝 9. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke🪄🪞 8. None of This is True, Lisa Jewell🎧🎂🐝 7. The Seven Year Slip, Ashley Poston🍋⏳ 6. Just For the Summer, Abby Jimenez🦄🛟 5. Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Gail Honeyman🐈⬛☕️ 4. Shuggie Bain, Douglas Stewart🍺💔 3. East of Eden, Steinbeck🌾🥲 2. The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien🌳💍🧝♀️ 1. The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas💰⚔️
I’ve read shards with your recommendation. Even though it repeats a lot and sometimes loses the story in unnecessary details, it becomes one of my faves this year
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a wonderful book. It and Forever Amber bring back so many memories of summer holidays and my parents' huge trunk full of books.
It was more like a top 5 kind of year for me: The Shards - Bret Easton Ellis Masks - Fumiko Enchi Out - Natsuo Kirino Edith Holler - Edward Carey Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
just love your channel Ana, thank you for sharing this glorious video with such a divine setup! my top ten for this year were the following: 1. In Memoriam - Alice Winn 2. Tender is the Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica 3. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury 4. Hurricane Season - Fernanda Melchor 5. Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir 6. The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson 7. Matrix - Lauren Groff 8. Paradais - Fernanda Melchor 9. Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver 10. The Shining - Stephen King I try to read a mix of old and new but clearly I am enjoying more modern fiction this year, and absolutely love a gothic/horror!!!
Love your videos as always! Totally unrelated to books but would love to see you do a video on not having an instagram as an actor and your experience with that!
One of the few channels where I hit "like" before the video even starts, while the ad is playing lol. Madame Bovary is SUCH a good book. The only other book I've read from your list is Stoner and it was my favorite read this year. I need to read A tree grows in Brooklyn. I don't know why I keep putting it off. Also, I now want to move to NYC for the simple reason that there seems to be books on the side of the road on a regular basis.
Your book taste is actually SOO DIFFERENT from mine. Not sure if we would enjoy the same thing, I’ll have to read your recommendations to find out!! But your personality is sssssooo great
Okay, you've persuaded me to get back into Stoner, I must have lost steam and bailed prematurely 😅 I read The Seas at your recommendation and I thought it was really phenomenal, uncomfortable, and unique.
Gorgey list. My #1 of the year is It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over by Anna de Marcken. A weird little literary zombie novel that is like nothing else I've ever read, and I think you would get a kick out of it.
Stoner will forever be in my heart as a top favorite. My Top 10 Reads from 2024 (in no particular order): Precious Bane by Mary Webb The Luck of Ginger Coffey by Brian Moore Sweet Witch by Richard Llewellyn Bride of Isreal, My Love by Richard Llewellyn Angel by Elizabeth Taylor (not the actress :) ) Four Letter of Love by Niall Williams The Juniper Tree by Barbara Comyns Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck The Cormorant by Stephen Gregory My Ántonia by Willa Cather Honorable Mention: We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida
Don’t get me started on Angels in America!!! I read that play and watched the HBO show when I was 16 and I still think about it almost on a daily basis at 21😭😭 it’s so perfect, Harper’s character is so amazing and wow the ways in which everyone is connected is just so powerful and yeah wow. All I can say is wow
I was raised in Williamsburg in the 1950s and a tree grows in Brooklyn is my favorite book of all times. In fact, I was raised in the projects that were built for the people who lived in the cold water flats that were torn down. I love Francie so much. Thank you for loving this book. Aloha from Hawaii. PS it actually wasn’t set in Greenpoint more toward The Williamsburg housing development or project as we called it is located right now.
For me the best Ballard novel is Empire of the Sun. Top book of the year too! Next, Concrete Island. I DNF'ed Crash. Too warped. Happy New Year to you and Oleg.
Since you loved Dogs of summer, another recommendation of a book by a Spanish author: Bad habit, by Alana S. Potrero, on growing trans in a working class neighbourhood in Madrid in the 80s. Like, it’s probably the best book published in Spain in 2023. Even Dua Lipa has read it and listed it as one of her favourite books of 2023. Everyone I know who has read it loved it!
PEDRO PARAMO MENTIONED OMG. You gotta watch the Netflix movie as well. It’s in Spanish but we loved it. I want to read the book in Spanish as well it’s a Mexican classic
I read Stoner a few years ago and heaven knows how many times I have recommended it to friends and strangers online lol. Giovanni's Room is my best read this year. Hope I get a copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn for 2025.
Ooh this was a great list. We all need to make and break all the rules with our own videos, and reading to be honest. As always a delight AND I guess I have to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn now.
stoner is definitely on my list to read in 2025! here's my 10: 10. i who have never known men - jacqueline harpman 9. homesick for another world - ottessa moshfegh 8. zorrie - laird hunt 7. the unconsoled - kazuo ishiguro 6. the poisonwood bible - barbara kingsolver 5. the road - cormac mccarthy 4. white noise - don delillo 3. elephant and other stories - raymond carver 2. trust - hernan diaz 1. demon copperhead - barbara kingsolver
Percival Everett…I picked up Erasure only because there was an article about him (New Yorker??) and he seemed like such an interesting person. The book was bonkers. My favorite? Nah. Hard to choose. Loved All Fours. Also loved Sandwich. It’s probably Rebecca Watson’s “Little Scratch.” The stream of consciousness format took a while to get used to but after a while I was all in.
I love your top two and will need to check out those others. Here are my own top ten of 2024: to the lighthouse, the secret story, the virgin suicides, family lexicon (Natalia Ginsburg), song of Achilles, the bell jar, Stella Maris, Nothing holds back the night (Delphine de vigan), hell (Erlend loe), the year of magical thinking (Didion).

I had to read a Tree Grows in Brooklyn for high school. Loved it.
Your humor, your book taste, and the aesthetic has drawn me in!
Trust and Stoner are both amazing novels. Too many people give up on Trust because of how the story is told. Stoner is a great character-driver novel that gets so overlooked.
So grateful to you for getting me into more classical and literary reading this year. We may not have the exact taste in books but I will watching anything and everything you post ❤️☺️ Happy New year Ana
I loved The Shards too Ana. It was so delirious I was in over my head and then after it I felt like I couldn't read another novel for a while.

Yeah I need to reread Madame Bovary
