Interesting idea. I do tend to read quite slowly as time allows. Just like Truus, I spend time reading news and stories about running, keeping my cat alive, and Vancouver liveability.
May I recommend: My Dark Vanessa
Also I am enjoying: The Henna Artist
I've got a short pile of books that I will read when I finished the one I am reading.
My favourite books tend to be a little bit sad. The Man Who Fell To Earth by Walter Tevis, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, and Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis. Was a fan of Dostoevsky but I have finished all his stuff. Notes From the Underground made a lot of sense to me.
What kind of books to you like?
