Just finished this today, so that's my first book of 2025 completed. Mao II was one of the best books I read last year, so naturally I was drawn to his other work. Underworld is incredible, I love how all-encompassing, how human, how unpredictable his work is. The way that the individual segments come together is phenomenal.

Sorry Don. I think I get it. I appreciate your style and worldview. But I’m no longer gripped. I’ll always love White Noise 🫡

Almost assumed that you just forgot to list DeLillo because he goes so well with what else you listed. This book is amazingly relevant all around. I'd also look into A Vist From The Goon Squad

The first two lines of the chorus: 'You can never be strong, You can only be free' Sums up everything great about Robert Pollard's songwriting. Drama, hope and disappointment.

I'm amazed no one else has mentioned the great Townes Van Zandt. This is my favourite of his, a beautiful voice and songwriter gone far too soon.

It's emblematic of everything that went wrong with disco but I love it so much.
