"Version Control is perhaps the strangest fictional work of appropriated voices and subjects. It’s set in a surreal near future — or several near futures — as well as in several pasts. Though issues of race play virtually no role in the stories, one character, an African-American physicist, recalls dropping out of a writing course because the professor thought he should be mining his heritage instead of inventing science fiction."

"Another obvious choice, but I have so much love for DFW. I have always been more drawn to his non-fiction, and this collection of essays is my favorite. The first writing of his that I ever read was the title essay of this collection, and it made me want to be a better journalist. It think DFW is a writer that generally inspires other writers to want to be better."

"Despite the fact that I have two nonfiction works on my list, I almost exclusively read fiction, but Erik Larson has long been one of my favorites. If you’ve read his others, you don’t need me to tell you what a great historian he is. If you haven’t, The Splendid and the Vile captures Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz like no other book I’ve ever read. Enjoy."
