I deliberated for a while what to title this page, before settling on “books”. I once asked for recommendations, you can see the thread here.

Ministry of Moral Panic, by Amanda Lee Koe

I skimmed through this one once, but I didn’t really enjoy it. I’ll give it another shot sometime this year maybe, if I get in the right mood for it. It seems to be the general favorite.

The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, by Sonny Liew

This gets my personal vote of recommendation, it was one of the best things I read in 2017, period.
