I have interpreted "current decade" to mean a range of ten years from the time of this post.

There's five.
I mean, the thread title is "2020's" but thanks
Okay.
The book that I will eventual write and I know will surely be a hit when I get around to it.
Posted in another thread but Wellness by Nathan Hill.
Did you read the Nix? What did you think of that? I tried reading that and Hallberg’s City on Fire one summer and thought Hill’s showed the most promise, but I dropped both after 100 pages.
I appreciate your asking. I really liked the early parts of Nix that center around Samuel and his backstory but I thought Fay (his mom) was essentially vapid and Hill vastly improved the female side of his novel with Wellness. In addition, the first chapter with Pwnage vastly outshines the rest and I think he could have stopped with his thread there. Haven't broached Hallberg. The most recent fiction I read before this was Famous People by Justin Kuritzkes which broaches similar subject matter to a degree, but that was 2019.
Not OP, but what about SF&F novels? Any good ones?

The Bible.
Don’t call me Shirley
The next novels of Max Lawton, soon in 2025.
I haven’t kept up with any current Spanish-language writers since Enrigue and his wife back in 2014. I generally hate auto fiction and needlessly breaking the 4th wall.
Thank you, I felt them theme and topic was really interesting but that the whole book and the narrative voice did not live up to the promise. A lot of times I read things like this because I’m thinking about how I would write a similar story, but when it doesn’t sound like what I would write I just drop it. Same with the Hallberg.
That’s been on my tbr list for years. Was it, or the series in general, any good?
YOU HATE AUTOFICTION, BUT LIKE «FANTASY» SCHLOCK?
OK.
Sérieusement?
HAVE YOU READ IT?
No, but your recommendation has given me interest. I like the actress well enough.
The Vorrh
There probably are, and don't call me Shirley.
I have negative interest in reading anything from this decade. If I could spend a dollar so that every time such a book crossed my field of vision it would be automatically thrown in a fire, I would.
2020’s what? Or did you mean “2020 is”?
