Jamie Barringer (Ravenmount) (ravenmount) | 48 comments 2021:
January
Vile Bodies, by Evelyn Waugh
The Thin Man, by Dashiell Hammett
Trainspotting, by Irvine Welsh
The Elegance of the Hedgehog, by Muriel Barberry
Get Shorty, by Elmore Leonard

February
Complicity, by Iain Banks

March
Don Quixote (currently reading)

The Crow Road, by Iain Banks (currently reading)
The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt (currently reading)


On my list, below, books in bold are definitely worthy of a place on my own version of a 1001 list. Books in italics are VERY awful and could be happily skipped entirely.
