One of my idle thoughts for this year, was to read more; especially seeing as I've been blessed with more time in which to do it. I will attempt to write a little bit more later about my thoughts on these books.
Finished ... Ian McEwan - Saturday
Phillip Roth - The American Pastoral
Michael Chabon - The Yiddish Policemen's Union
Kirsten McKenzie - The Chapel at the End of the World
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - The Thing Around Your Neck
Joseph Conrod - The Heart of Darkness (and a few other short stories)
Malcolm Gladwell - The Tipping Point
Still working on ... Edward Rutherford - London
Paul Kelly - March of the Patriots
Then... Ian McEwan - On Chesil Beach
Leo Tolstoy - War and Peace
Malcolm Gladwell - Outliers, or Dog.
... and leave a recommendation or two.
I highly recommend Outliers. It's a fascinating book. I enjoyed it heaps more than Blink—perhaps because it felt more relevant to me.
ReplyDeleteI also loved On Chesil Beach, which was my first Ian McEwan. I know I should read some more some time ...
