#143 The Goldfinch is incredible of course, but I do find myself irritated by protagonists that make nothing but bad choices.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt rests on top of a sun dappled shelf. The cover gives the illusion that it’s torn and a glimpse of a painted goldfish is visible underneath.

It's great and the audio version is even better because he narrates it and he's a fabulous story teller.
