“In this season of giving,” a Dec. 19, 2016 New York Times Book Review post began, “we asked some notably avid readers—who also happen to be poets, musicians, diplomats, filmmakers, novelists, actors and artists—to share the books that accompanied them through 2016.”

Not all the books in “The Year in Reading” were published in 2016, and Updike appeared on two lists:

—Carl Bernstein, of Woodward and Bernstein Watergate fame, includes John Updike: The Collected Stories on a list of “works most enjoyed or valued, in no particular order,” while

—Writer Maxine Hong Kingston lists books in the order in which she read them, including Updike’s In the Beauty of the Lilies.

What Updike books have you read in 2016, or do you plan to read in 2017?
