The A.V. Club's Favorite Books of 2017

"Something about this year made reading books feel not just crucial, but a little bit transgressive. Maybe it's the assault on education and freedom of the press, or maybe it's just that between reading new reports of abusive men and Trump's latest attempt to chokehold the nation, simply reading for pleasure feels especially crucial. From fantasy novels and postmodern experiments to feminist manifestos and collections of immigrant stories, these are the books that struck a chord or just helped us get through 2017."
