Book Backlog

November 10, 2006 · Posted in Backlog, Books 

I’ve been a very busy reader recently, but I’ve been less than  disciplined in posting here. I promised reviews of the Booker nominees, and didn’t deliver. Since then, I’ve read the following books:

  • Kingdom Come (J.G.Ballard)
  • A Life’s Music (Andreï Makine)
  • Travels in the Scriptorium (Paul Auster)
  • The Berlin Wall (Frederick Taylor)
  • April Fool’s Day (Josip Novakovich)
  • The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins)
  • Hotel Savoy (Joseph Roth)
  • The Fugitive (Marcel Proust)
  • House of Meetings (Martin Amis)
  • A Sad Affair (Wolfgang Koeppen)
  • Be Near Me (Andrew O’Hagan)
  • Arlington Park (Rachel Cusk)
  • Your Face Tomorrow - 2: Dance and Dream (Javier Marías)
  • The Life of Hunger (Amélie Nothomb)
  • Death in Danzig (Stefan Chwin)

I’ll tackle them one by one over the next few days. First, the long-awaited Booker reviews.
