1985: A Year of Great Discontent

Where the only thing that mattered was being better than the Jones's.

Here's a list of our favorite books from that most excellent year:

• "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood: A Dystopian Masterpiece
• "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro: A Heart-Wrenching Exploration
• "Hearts in Exile" by Lawrence Durrell: A Poetic Romp
• "The Crying of the Year 1985" by John Brunetti: A Time-Capsule of Awfulness
