NPR's best reads of 2013

[Mark Kohut]

Among ones I know, HOW TO GET FILTHY RICH IN RISING ASIA is, I think, wonderful....and I recommend.
Sublime verbal ending.
 
MEN WE REAPED is also powerful and good....as is her award-winning novel...

A pretty underwhelming list, even if you filter out all but the staff recommendations. Though I've heard the Lawrence of Arabia book is great.

belongs on any list of notable books for 2013. It's Pynchon, for (whatever's) 
sake, and ought to be read and discussed, at the very least. Not clear if 
everyone over at NPR read and disliked it, or if they didn't bother. Pynchon's 
least good book (in my apparently minority opinion, anyway)still merits at least 
an honorable mention on any best of 2013 list. http://apps.npr.org/best-books-2013/#/_ Laura
