In no particular order.

The Children's Book -- A.S. Byatt

I am not wholeheartedly behind all of this book, but it has the best texture I have ever come across, I think. And I really like how it treats history. And the characters figured heavily in my dreams for a while. That must mean it has made an impression.

Possession -- A.S. Byatt

Again, I am not entirely behind this book, but there are so many interesting experiments, lovely sides and fun with literature in there I cannot help but like it. If only a few of the characters could have been slightly warmer, I would have loved it more.

Canterbury Tales -- Geoffrey Chaucer

People tend to think of Renaissance writing as dull, but this book (and the rest of them, actually) proves it is not. It is so varied and strange. I like it.

Cloud Atlas -- David Mitchell

Wonderful book, though I still have reservations about the first and last of the narratives. It does great things with language and has a lot of fun with narrative levels.

The Rosicrucian Enlightenment -- Frances Yates

I loved it. It made history fit together and made me ground some stuff that had only been hinted at elsewhere. I like how it ties literature and other arts together with a moment of history that I find interesting, and how it ties that to the myth of the secret society.

Fathers and Sons -- Ivan Turgenev

It is funny and well written with a couple of very interesting characters, and I love the portrayal of nihilism.

The Red House Mystery -- A.A. Milne
A perfectly plotted whodunnit with a healthy ironic distance. It is not a masterpiece in character writing, or a comment on the universal human condition, but it treats the detective genre very well. And I think it is funny that it is written by the creator of Winnie the Pooh.

Solaris -- Stanislaw Lem
Lem is always good. This is not my favourite among his books, but I liked it. I love how it leaves you guessing, and how it is so full of strange things that you can read any which way you like.

The Storyteller's Tale -- Omair Ahmad
A strange collection of developing tales, where each story is built on and changed as they go along.

A Room with a View -- E.M. Forster
Again, I won't wholeheartedly endorse it, because I had some issues with the ending (I should write a review), but it is sweet and lovely and I liked the characters along the way. Most of them.
