Hello everyone and happy new year. Thank you southeast for the new thread :)
I have decided to have a go with a random book generator this year for the books which I already own. I have well over 500 books either physically in my house or on my kindle and am too easily tempted to buy new ones so my aim for this year is to read more of the books that I already own. I am going to continue using the library though so there will be some escape from the tyranny of the generator.
My rule is that if I don't fancy reading it I will give it to the charity shop as I am sure I have books here on the shelf which I have been given, or bought because I think I should like them, but will never read. So time to ask myself whether they Spark Joy 
You can look forward to some eclectic choices this year from me if I manage to stick to my own rules.
In the meantime, the book I started yesterday and finished this morning (it's short):
1. Lanny, Max Porter
Much reviewed on these threads and elsewhere, this is a short novel in an experimental style, reminiscent in many ways of Ali Smith. Lanny is a young boy living in an (English? UK certainly) village with his parents. He befriends an older man who gives him art lessons. Then, partway through the book, Lanny disappears.
The way that language is used here, in rich spiky fragments, means that Porter packs in a huge amount considering that the book is short and told in very short chapters (2-3 pages each). He brings in the voices of many characters, many of them unnamed, some of them not human (there's magic and folklore in here too).
If this all sounds a bit woo, well, it is, but it's a lovely book. The characters of Lanny and Pete (the artist), and their friendship, are drawn beautifully - again, this reminded me strongly of the lovely things you can find in Ali Smith's writing. It's funny too, if rather odd at times.
