1. um, without realizing it, i seem to have read almost everything guy gavriel kay has written. this is pretty cool, except i haven't made any notes about any of his books. i only have the fionavar tapestry left, i think. slow and steady?
2. books i started but haven't finished: the luminaries (it's long and difficult to carry around okay?)
moons of jupiter - alice munro and
insects are like you and me - kuzhali manickavel (short stories are difficult to do in one go)
vasudeva's family - vaidehi (i forgot it in a friend's house. too lazy to retrieve it)
once upon a time in scandinavistan - zac o yeah (it offended too many of my sensibilities to go forward with it).
3. books i read very slowly: we need new names - noviolet bulawayo (too much emotion, but beautiful)
hired man - aminatta forna (took me a while to get involved in it)
4. books i swallowed:
a tale for the time being, ruth ozeki (book of the year, yet)
god in every stone, kamila shamsie (need to read more by her to make up my mind)
the foreigner, arun joshi (a love letter to arun joshi is forthcoming)
everything by guy gavriel kay (sigh)
it's been a slow quarter-of-a-year fiction-wise, but only because i've been too busy to do any reading. any reading i have done has been largely guilt-inducing, and this is never good. come may, i promise to turn into a book monster. :)
