That's good going!

Well I only started this year but this is all the ones I have ever read, not just what I have read since starting the challenge :)
It looks good till you realise I am only a tenth of the way through... oh well, will just have to keep reading!

So many books............

113. Where Angels Fear to Tread - E.M. Forster

Interested in what you thought of Oscar Wao. I read it and hated it. Read it again, as it was a choice by a member of my reading group and hated it even more. Then discovered when me met, that the entire group of 12 hated it, even the person who chose it. None of us could understand how it had won the Pulitzer.

It was ok, I didn't hate it but didn't love it either and I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone - no idea what won it the Pulitzer.

114. The Unconsoled - Kazuo Ishiguro

115. A Severed Head - Iris Murdoch.

116. Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray

117. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle - Haruki Murakami

118. The Quiet American - Grahame Greene

119. In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
120. Pale Fire - Vladimir Nabokov
121. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
122. Death in Venice - Thomas Mann
123. The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Moshin Hamid

What did you think of the Reluctant Fundamentalist? I loved it when I read it, have got it down as to read again because I fear I have forgotten a lot of it!

I enjoyed it, it actually wasn't what I thought it was going to be but still a good read. It was interesting to see the aftermath of the September 11th attacks from the point of view of a Muslim person living in America and how it affected them.

126. Agatha Christie - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
