The best novel I read this year was _Americanah_ by Chimamanda Ngozi
Adichie -  http://chimamanda.com/books/americanah/ . It is a tender and
personal but exquisitely sharp examination of race, identity, and
immigration.

The best comic I read this year was _Daytripper_ by Fábio Moon and Gabriel
Bá.  http://www.vertigocomics.com/graphic-novels/daytripper . It's a few
years old but it was new to me and absolutely blew me away. I'd call it a
"quiet existential roller coaster", if pressed for a quote.
