In the coming year I am hoping to read at least one classic a month, and also to try a few authors that have been a bit intimidating to me, like Proust and Pamuk. Very cool question!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-57388903470758433772010-12-05T16:05:51.197-05:002010-12-05T16:05:51.197-05:00I have read loads more new releases and award nomi...I have read loads more new releases and award nominatws books this year than I ever have previously.

Pretty cool for you!<br /><br />I must say I've thoroughly enjoyed knowing I can turn to you this year to know that you will be reviewing this year's award winners first so I can see if they are worth reading :)Amusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657337249497691366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-64364113967814908412010-12-05T13:51:04.448-05:002010-12-05T13:51:04.448-05:00I know what you mean - I too have read several fro...I know what you mean - I too have read several from the NYT Most Notable List this year which may be the first time I've actually made my way through books on the list BEFORE the list was announced (I also loved Room!). I have been reading a lot of contemporary, new fiction lately ... and discovered some new authors and that has made my reading quite enjoyable of late!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-17918513570596090282010-12-05T12:35:58.380-05:002010-12-05T12:35:58.380-05:00I know exactly how you feel!

This is the first year that I've read enough newly released fiction to feel as though I can discuss the choices of major publications too :-) Room is my book of the year, but I haven't read Egan's book yet - I'll have to add it to the list :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-24470635133415564292010-12-05T10:37:03.663-05:002010-12-05T10:37:03.663-05:00Oops!
