There are obviously way too many that I need to read. I'm sure you'll see the same in the other comments, but man oh man, get on The Secret History and Gilead. They were both just the most aching types of books.

This isn't some list compiled by literary critics. <br /><br />Care - Oh man, I might be able to do IJ on audio! When are you doing it? <br /><br />Donna - Oh fun! I hope you find some you like, there are so many great ones on this list. <br /><br />Dale - Maybe I can get to both in 2013!<br /><br />Jenners - I've tried to focus on re-reading just a little more in the past year and it's be so much fun to rediscover some of my old favorites.

Of the ones you haven't read, I'd highlyl recommend The Secret History.

THe Night Circus will be quick and you will likely enjoy it. I refuse to try again with One Hundred Years, tho.

That doesn't always happen with these lists. But, it was only 50, not 1001. I have to assume that this exposure to book bloggers and the whole book conversation has enlightened me a great deal. It has been a good year for reading. anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728598854622972187noreply@blogger.com
