"Solito" by Javier Zamora was my favorite book that I read in 2023. Some of my favorite authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Madeline Miller, Haruki Murakami, Orhan Pamuk, Sarah Vowell, Julia Alvarez, Christopher Moore, Isabelle Allende, Junji Ito, and Pablo Neruda. I really enjoy magical realism and outrageous plots.
