The Fireside Chats

I found this article describing these 20 novels that’ll have you up all night reading (link can be found at the bottom of this article). I’ve only read one novel on this list and it’s the book by Shirley Jackson. I do want to read the book “Visitation” by Jenny Erpenbeck. They way they describe that book…..it’s peeked my interest. So, if I’m going to read anything on this list then it’ll probably be that one.
