The ever growing reading List:
1. Lajja, Taslima Nasrin
Really couldn't get into it. I understand the points she's trying to make, however, it's much less a story than it is pages and pages of bullet points, paraphrased from news articles. Put it down before I was a third of the way through.
2. Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro
Absolutely loved this one! I really appreciate how he doesn't explain his world, but lets it unfurl itself as the book progresses. A stunner, seriously.
3. Life of Pi, Yann Martel
I really enjoyed the way this book was structured. Very well thought out. For me, it was like a much more entertaining and better edited Robinson Crusoe, only without a deserted island. Couldn't put it down!
4. On Beauty, Zadie Smith
I wish I were Zadie Smith.
5. The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini
It was really hard not to cry with this one. A painful tale of regret and guilt.
6. The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards
The plot was good but I think it was just a bit of a sloppy read. The characters were so stereotypical at times and the male viewpoints were so effeminate. I think in general, Edwards didn't work her characters effectively enough. It was just her voice over and over and over..
7. Yellow Dog, Martin Amis
8. One Night at the Call Centre, Chetan Bhagat (thanks ~nascent-sirocco!)
I was really surprised by this book. The characters were very, very Indian -- I didn't expect it to come across as strongly as it did. The story itself was actually quite interesting. Even a touch of deconstruction and all.
9. Dr Thorne, Anthony Trollope
10. A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
11. White Noise, Don Dellilo
12. The Family, Mario Puzo
13. Persuasion, Jane Austen
Loved it, of course.
14. A Passage to India, E. M. Forster
15. The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
16. Shirley, Charlotte Brontë
Slow to start, but a gripping read for the most part. I wanted more romance at the end, though!
17. The Professor, Charlotte Brontë
Oh man, the ending SUCKED.
18. Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë
Tame, but kinda sweet. A little too didactic for me, perhaps.
19. Lady Chatterley's Lover, D. H. Lawrence.
20. A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini.
I think this was even better than The Kite Runner.
21. Metamorphosis and Other Stories, Kafka.
