Books I have read of late:
- Aimee Bender, The Color Master
- George Saunders, The Tenth of December
- Sofia Samatar, A Stranger in Olondria
- Junot Diáz, This is How You Lose Her
- Isabel Allende, The Island beneath the Sea
- Ranjit Lal, The Battle for No. 19
- Kuzhali Manickavel, Things We Found During the Autopsy
- Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose
You will notice a newly discovered interest in contemporary American authors, which was the shade of my reading in September. I am still on the outlook for others to read, although I’ve returned somewhat to the eclectic behaviour of my reading. You will also notice lots and lots of short stories. I also re-read most of Borges and Angela Carter’s short stories, and too many new standalone stories to name.
