Three top reads of 2026
For the last several years I’ve been putting together a list of three of the books I most enjoyed reading for this interesting emerging literary organization called Book DNA, which has been conceived as a competitor to Goodreads. This year’s selection is unusual in that included two nonfiction books and only one novel. Here’s the link.
Note that these are books I read in 2026, not ones that wer

| Yet another great one from Banks. It has been a LONG time since I've gone on a binge of reading every novel in a series by the same author, but I seem to be addicted to these scifi novels, which are incredibly entertaining and at the same time profou ...more | |

| I could not put this book down, and looked forward to returning to it whenever I got a free moment. That's probably all I need to say at this point, but I very much admire the way the author was able to write a funny story that was also so highly pro ...more | |

“...[O]n virtually every page, the same unmistakable message: Tread lightly. Think ahead. Respect the reality that despite your intelligence you are inseparable from the great web of life, a species to whom much has been given and of whom much is expected in return, namely a firm commitment to stewardship as opposed to thoughtless exploitation.”

“The simple act of stridin down a familiar trail refreshes his sense of purpose, and the smells of a rich forest ecosystem please him. Not just earth but living earth: moss and duff, ferns and sedges, microorganisms and mushrooms. The trees breathing. Every leaf its own little oxygen factory.”

“We’re used to thinking of all parts of space as existing at once,” she would say, “even if we’re not there to experience them. Well, it’s the same with time, Nick. Past, present, future: all are in continual existence, even though we don’t experience them that way.”

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
