Books 2007 (Fiction)
I didn’t read as much as I had wished in 2006 so am making a concerted effort to correct this in 2007.
When I moved house some 2+ years ago and was therefore consciously going through my own small library, it was with some amusement that I noted I only possessed one book of fiction.
Poor showing as I am apparently considered “well read”.
Nay a week passes without my eyes and mind soaking up formal texts on matters of life that interest me professionally – and fictious texts of any genre fall unnoticed by the wayside.
This year is to change that.
Therein this page will record my ‘lighter’ reads of the year (and it has to be said, much in part influenced and assisted by the Independent newspapers 25 week run of ‘banned books’.)
To date therefore I have read: -
The Satanic Verses. S. Rushdie. Feb’ 2007.
A Farewell to Arms. Ernest Hemingway. 03th-05th March
Lolita. Vladimir Nabokov. 10th – 13 March
Brave New World. Aldous Huxley. 17th-18th March
Metamorphosis. Franz Kafka. 24th March.
