Ten books read this month – and I can honestly say that on the whole they have been fabulous. I didn’t manage to read any non-fiction during September, but I have ceased to worry about my lack of non-fiction reading. The pile of books that I had set aside for reading during September took a bit of a battering after the Booker shortlist was announced and I set about reading the four I had left, one of those I have still to go.
94 A Laodicean (1881) Thomas Hardy (F) SEPT
95 The House in Paris (1935) Elizabeth Bowen (F)
96 Prophecy (2011) S J Parris (F)
97 Painted Clay (1917) Capel Boake (F)
98 The Garden of Evening Mists (2012) Tan Twan Eng (F)
99 Died in the Wool (1945) Ngaio Marsh (F)
100 Swimming Home (2011) Deborah Levy (F)
101 Hester Lily & other stories (1954) Elizabeth Taylor (F)
102 A Pin to see the Peepshow (1934) F Tennyson Jesse (F)
103 Narcopolis (2012) Jeet Thayil (F)
Special mention then should go to these books: –
They were each so memorable, well written and come highly recommended – from me.
You did well this month – and I’m so glad that you thought most of your reading was ‘fabulous’. Mine has been just so-so. 😦
I guess I need to read some of your suggestions! 😉
I hope October is better for you reading wise then 🙂
What a great selection of books you’ve read. I’m really looking forward to hear what you think of Umbrella because I do like Will Self!
