I did read The Book Thief, which I loved. Also the Glass Castle which made me very grateful I did not have her childhood. I can't remember anymore right now, a year is a long time. I will try to read more but I am writing a dissertation next year so I can't promise anything.ErinAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697810411258174293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399622.post-58097503447936044162008-12-04T00:25:00.000-07:002008-12-04T00:25:00.000-07:00Best lists are stupid, except for the fact that I ...Best lists are stupid, except for the fact that I kind of depend on them, in a probably stupid way, to construct some sort of agenda. But actually, that's mainly true of popular music. And jazz. The rest of those lists, I read just the way you did, like, "Right, Toni Morrison, genius, greatest writer of all time, etc. Maybe I'll read another Icelandic detective novel." Basically my new reading strategy is this: <BR/>1. The New Yorker (same as my old reading strategy)<BR/>2. Internet<BR/>3. Detective novels from every country and culture known to humankind<BR/>4. Poetry<BR/>5. Cookbooks<BR/>6. Books with lucid dogs in them. <BR/><BR/>The end.<BR/><BR/>I would also recommend Summerland (7. also YA novels), which was lovely.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10646181766775405935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399622.post-13049746919665537722008-12-03T21:46:00.000-07:002008-12-03T21:46:00.000-07:00I'm beyond embarrassed I've read none of the books...I'm beyond embarrassed I've read none of the books on your list but The Book Thief.
