So, what books are you reading this month? Also, what are your reading goals for 2010? 50? 100? More?
Even without including rereads. If you include rereads I will hit a hundred for sure. Not all books are large tomes, after all.
My January list is thus:
Donnerjack by Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold
The Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust (it's an omnibus)
The Circle of Reason by Amitav Ghosh
Tanglewreck by Jeanette Winterson
Troilus and Criseyde by G. Chaucer
The Seeing Stone by Kevin Crossley-Holland
The Monsters of Templeton by Lauren Groff
Mr Toppit by Charles Elton
After the Quake by Murakami
The White Castle by Orhan Pamuk
The Red Necklace by Sally somebody
Second Honeymoon by Joanna Trollope
Sword and Sunset by Rosemary Sutcliffe
Ringworld by Larry Niven
Three Fates by Nora Roberts
The Black Swan by somebody or the other -- I cannot get through this, it seems to be pompously written pseudo-science.
Gind by Harini Srinivasan - done, 16th Jan
Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters and the Birth of the Comic Book by Gerard Jones.
We'll see how much of this I finish.
Currently I am reading
Starbook by Ben Okri -- done
and an anthology of Science Articles from 2005 -- done
Currently reading The Swallow and the Hummingbird by Santa Montefiore. I miss the old intensity of romance fiction. Now it's all either chicklit or diet love. Bleh. -- Done, and it was terrible and predictable both. (16th Jan)
Currently also reading The Forest Lover by Susan Vreeland. It's about an artist whom I've never heard of, named Emily Carr. Also, The Seeing Stone.
(I like chicklit, but this wasn't it.)
