This is horrific on so many levels. Shame on you, Chicago Sun-Times. As others have so rightly said, there are countless smart and well-read humans who would have created a robust list of REAL and worthy books for free.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

So fun to watch Younger again. It gets so much of the book publishing biz wrong, but some rings true. Cracking up over this quote from Lauren: “Promoting books at a time when people can just as easily join an Oculus orgy feels a bit like magic, but I’m a witch…”
