Since the 2017 version has been out for a bit, I figured it was time to get on with the 2016 one already. In his introduction, Franzen mentions 2 of my favorite fictional characters in the same sentence. It's not wrong to have high expectations, right? And Franzen... author of Purity? Did anyone read that one?

Jess7 I haven‘t read Purity yet, but I put it on my TBR a long time ago. 7y

I always read and love this series, even if it‘s edited by Jonathan Franzen.
