I particularly admired his technique of revealing the characters’ thoughts before letting them speak.ģ. By Nightfall. I was a big fan of his earlier novel, The Hours,and liked this one as well. Almost nothing happens in this book but, oh, the writing is exquisite!Ģ. Please note: I’m not implying that all the books in the “other” categories, below, are bad (although in my view, a few are truly dreadful.) Mainly, I just didn’t like them enough to recommend them.įICTION in order of preference (within this category)ġ. I pass no judgment on those who do my tastes just don’t run in those directions! I tend to favour literary fiction, strong character-driven stories and biographies. Please note that I don’t generally read murder mysteries, sci fi or fantasy. So far, this has been a good year for fiction. Trouble was, some people would have preferred to see my list in time for summer reading! As a result, I’ve decided to unveil this year’s reading list in two chunks: one in time for August (I’ve read 31 books so far this year) and the rest (at least another 21 titles but likely more) closer to Christmas. I always set myself an annual target of reading at least 52 books and when I hit my total in 2010 (last November) I published a summary. If you’re looking for holiday reading, here is part one of my annual book list!
