Hot Guys Reading Books posted about her favorite books today. Here are mine, off the top of my head.
The Passion by Winterson
Anathem by Stephenson
Middlesex by Eugenides
Howard's End by Forster
Prodigal Summer by Kingsolver
100 Years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez
YUM.
I'm looking forward to the winter break and a return to the decadence of reading fiction. These are on the docket:
Linger by Stiefvater
The Replacement by Yovanoff
Tongues of Serpents by Novik
Zorro by Allende
And, because what is reading without some non-fiction thrown in?
Disintegration by Robinson
The No-Cry Sleep Solution by Pantley
Convergence Culture by Jenkins
Maternity leave here I come!

Yay books. I've read most of those -- I own Middlesex but the motivation to read it somehow eludes me. In the spirit of Saturday night, here are a few of my faves:
ReplyDeleteThe Cornish Trilogy by Robertson Davies
Shalimar the Clown by Rushdie
The Falls by Oates
Heyday by Kurt Andersen
Water Music by T.C. Boyle (or maybe Drop City)
The Lacuna by Kingsolver
Feast of the Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa
Handling Sin (or perhaps Time's Witness) by NC author Michael Malone
I need to go book shopping for things to read in the dead time between Christmas and New Year.
You're too high brow for me, but it's nice to see that graduate school hasn't ruined your ability to enjoy fiction.
ReplyDeleteHere are two memoirs worth checking out:
Seductive Poison by Deborah Layton
Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi
Mmmmmm Middlesex. One of my all-time favorites as well. Can't wait to check out some of your other recs!
ReplyDeleteCan't possibly list all of mine in a comment, so I'll just throw a recently-devoured out there: Henry and June, by Anais Nin.
Cheers,
Tessa
