BOTM: D.L. Sayers, Gaudy Night
A.C. Clarke, Tales of ten worlds
A. Hollinghurst, The Swimming Pool Library
D. Meyer, Twenty thousand roads: the ballad of Gram Parsons
O. Pamuk, My name is Red*
I really feel like I have wasted my last free month. I certainly didn't read much, and so I have very little to say - I'm not sure I was that impressed with any of them. Pamuk in particular was disappointing - I'd forgotten how slow the beginning is, though it does pick up. BOTM was Gaudy Night, it's held to be her best, and that's deserved. It had some hugely fun writing in it, and even some insight. Plus, it's set in an Oxford college. I doubt it will contend for book of the year though.
