A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing, Reading, and Life by George Saunders

5.0

This variation of a class taught by George Saunders at Syracuse with classic (read: public domain) Russian short stories and then Saunders observations on their aspects could be my favorite book I've read in the last decade. It speaks to so much of life and all of its attendant needs and emotions, with Saunders's sweet and wry voice guiding you through.
