Impactful Reads of 2017

Below are my most impactful reads of 2017, with a brief description and link to my full review. New this year is a list of impactful concepts that I encountered in my reading, followed by the full list of books I read at the bottom. Random stat: 16 of the 38 books were non-fiction (42%).

Happy reading in 2018!

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, 2014

Being Nobody, Going Nowhere by Ayya Kheema, 1987

The Idiot by Elif Batuman, 2017

I Served The King of England by Bohumil Hrabal, 1971

And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer by Frederik Backman, 2015

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, 2015
