In Search of New Favourites: One Read, One to Read

One half of this list is stand-out books from my reading life by authors that inspire (and often challenge) me. The other half is books by the same author I hope to read in 2023.
This list also aligns with my other goals of reading more books in translation, as well as some classics I can't believe it has taken me this long to read.
