For this challenge I committed to 6 books, hoped to read 8, and ended up with 11! My favorites by far were The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Atmospheric Disturbances, Unaccustomed Earth, and Out Stealing Horses. My least favorites were Breath and On Chesil Beach.
The books I read in order of enjoyment:
- The Invention of Hugo Cabret
by Brian Selznick
- Atmospheric Disturbances
by Rivka Galchen
- Unaccustomed Earth
by Jhumpa Lahiri
- Out Stealing Horses
by Per Petterson
- A Mercy
by Toni Morrison
- After Dark
by Murakami (I'm thinking of changing this to a '4')
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by J.K. Rowling (Too many deaths)
- The Cloud of Unknowing
by Thomas H. Cook
- The Gathering
by Anne Enright (Even though this is rated higher, it was mostly because of the writing. It's not really a book I 'enjoyed')
- Netherland
by Joseph O'Neill
- On Chesil Beach
by Ian McEwan (I'm thinking of lowering this rating)
- Breath
by Tim Winton (I actually liked the first 3/4 of this)
