This year, I did a podcast with critic, podcaster, and fellow voracious reader Jeremy Maddux where he and I listed our favorite reads along with discussing numerous other things that happened this year.
You can listen to that podcast here.
Skip to 1:24:00 if you just want to listen to the book portion. Meanwhile, here are what my picks are. Keep in mind, these picks are based on the books I read in 2018, not necessarily books published in 2018.

extravagant absurdities, and the strangeness of daily life, rarely fails
to entertain."
So says Daulton Dickey, author of Flesh Made World and webmaster of Lost in the Funhouse.
