Books to Buy

@oddjob Books read this year- 538.

But most of them were kids books, which is why I was able to read so many.

I have no idea how many were by men and how many were by women.

Favourite New Author- Simon Brett

Favourite New Book- Poisoning at the Pub by Simon Brett.

Well you got me beat. I had a bad reading year, only 22 books. 20 fiction, 2 non-fiction. 10 by men, 12 by women.

Not heard of Simon Brett.

I most enjoyed The Vegetarian by Han Kang, quite weird though.
 
Read lots of classic books. Some I remember:

The Great Gatsby. What a great book. Really liked that scene at the hotel at the end.

Lolita. A well written book that one I'll only read once. Don't understand how the narrator is unreliable as it's pretty clearly spelt out how evil he is.

Count of Monte Cristo: Has made me think twice when it comes to revenge. Because clearly my plans aren't as good as this guy.

Great Expectations: Sad book.

The trial: Such an interesting premise. Not sure it stuck the landing.

Moby Dick: Boring.
