My first read of 2026.

Anthony Jeselnik, a most unlikely book reviewer, placed this at the top of his list of best reads of 2025.

You can watch his entire rundown here: youtu.be/tgzjzXBj6tw

Based on this read, I will be paying close attention to Jeselnik's recommendations this year. It also helps that his second best book was the new Ian McEwan which is I also loved.

You can read Perfection in one sitting. I highly recommend it.
