Great reads curated by NPR.

Can someone with ins to the publishing and book review industries tell everyone to stop putting fantasy and fiction together? They are vastly different genres and it drives me crazy that they are always together. They are completely different to read and when I’m looking for a sci fi book I hate having to scroll through a list that is invariably 80% fantasy.

Back to add.. thanks for posting this list. I got some great reads off it last year and I pulled a few titles off this year’s to check out as well!

For horse people in particular, but everyone in general. I just finished reading "Horse," which is a historical novel about Lexington, a real horse that became a mainstay of modern Thoroughbred racing stock. Is it a great American novel? Nope. But I did enjoy it, and learned quite a bit. The narrative touches on the role of slaves in horse racing in America, the differences between training race horses in the Civil War era and today, museum curation, art galleries, etc. In other words, lots of interesting little tidbits that I found fascinating.

I'd recommend it.
