I've decided to keep a list of things I'm reading for pleasure this year, just for fun.

 

So far in 2009:

 

Will Self's The Butt (not overly impressed)

Cormac McCarthy's The Road (bleak but recommended)

Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin (brilliant, highly recommended)

Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White (840 odd pages of not very good neo-Victoriana. Compared favourably on the cover to A.S. Byatt's Posession - made me choke on my tea. Over-rated)

Anne Enright's The Gathering (well-written, pretty good - not sure it deserved the Booker though).

 

Next up, I'm going to tackle Graham Greene.
